ASC Studios

ASC Studios Supporting artists and makers since 1995. A charity providing leading affordable studios across London. Explore:

Building creative communities through exhibitions, events, and more. Artists Studio Company (ASC) is a London based registered charity founded in 1995. Our core aims are to support artists and makers, promote the arts and educate the public in the arts. We are the leading affordable workspace provider to artists and makers in London. We currently support over 800 practitioners and to date we have managed a total of 22 buildings. We continue to play a major role supporting London’s creative talent, nurturing thousands of individuals and making a huge positive change to the capitals cultural landscape. We are very proud that a great many of our tenants have gone on to become household names. However we place greater value and believe deeply in fostering communities and in reaching out to people who might never have engaged in art. We aim to support creative people from all economic backgrounds and of course from all ethnic backgrounds. We strongly believe art can only be truly relevant when it is open to all.

24/7 brings together new and recent works by three contemporary artists working within ASC Studios across London: Seungjo Jeong, Mizuki Tanahara, and Ania Tomaszewska-Nelson. Selected by judges Nicky Coutts and Danny Rolph as part of ASC’s 30th Anniversary Exhibition in 2025, the artists present distinct responses to the rhythms and frictions of contemporary existence.

Taking its title from Jonathan Crary’s seminal text 24/7: Late Capitalism and the End of Sleep, the exhibition examines the relentless drive of hyper-connected systems alongside the natural cycles that resist them.

Mizuki Tanahara directly engages with Crary’s ideas, manipulating digital indicators of time across installation and moving image to question how contemporary temporalities are measured, fragmented, and consumed.

Seungjo Jeong presents recent paintings of a CRT television, a VHS cassette, and an Amazon parcel locker, each keeping time differently. Together they trace the disappearance of the interval – the hours in which nothing was transmitted, nothing was playing, and nothing was due.

Ania Tomaszewska-Nelson offers an antithesis to this uninterrupted modernity. Her new film, The Creature, is housed within a purpose-built hunter’s tower crafted in Poland. Rooted in nature, her work channels elemental powers and natural cycles that stand outside the demands of continuous productivity.

Don’t Let That Horse Eat That Violin

✨PV: Thursday 15th October 6-9pm�

📍ASC Cleaver Street, County Courts, Cleaver Street, Kennington, London SE11 4DZ

Don’t Let That Horse Eat That Violin is the first group show by Painters’ Painters, a network of likeminded artists built online. It brings together a selection of painters wholly committed to their medium, who share an investment in the particular possibilities of paint. The show is an attempt to highlight the endlessness of such possibilities.

Together, these artists demonstrate the world-building capacity of paint. It can hold intimacies and desires that exist outside of language, narrative scenes that don't exist at all, and perhaps most importantly a space where the playful, the mournful and the mundane are all welcome. Put simply: because painters paint, a horse can eat a violin.

Curated by Alice Mansfield () who reflected on stepping into the curator’s role for the first time: “As a painter myself, it's been really interesting to bring together a collection of work in this way. Curation requires a very different brain to painting, and I've really enjoyed the processes involved: finding a common thread, distilling the essential elements of people's practices, writing, and trying to do justice to work that I really admire. It's my first time curating, but it's definitely something I hope to do more of”.

Meet Verity Woolley ✨

A British painter living and working in South London whose practice explores gestural abstraction as a means of processing time, personal experience, and the act of painting itself.

Her work has been exhibited widely across London and internationally, with recent shows including States of Becoming at Vestry Street Gallery, London (2026), Plastic Vision at ASC Studios and Cross Currents at Terrace Gallery, NYC.

That’s an official wrap on TRACING BRENT | Mapping place, time and memory ✨

The doors have closed, but we are so grateful for the incredible energy, warmth, and vibrant community support that filled ASC Canalside Gallery in Alperton! From a packed-out, bustling opening night to a steady stream of visitors across the entire exhibition, Brent truly showed up to celebrate local culture.

Brought to life through a competitive open call, guest curators Marco Ferrara and Simmi Dullay curated a phenomenal, deeply moving lineup of Brent talent exploring memory, migration, identity, and what it truly means to live and create in Brent.

A massive thank you to our incredible curators, our brilliant artists, and every single resident and art lover who stepped through the doors to make this exhibition an absolute triumph 🙌
