Outpost gallery, stylised as OUTPOST, was founded in 2004[1] and is an artist-run space based in Norwich displaying contemporary art.[2] OUTPOST is a not for profit, volunteer-run art gallery with a rolling steering committee of (up to) eight local artists and practitioners who control the programming and run the gallery and studios.[3] The steering committee have a limit of two years actively serving, meaning power is constantly shifting.[4]
The gallery has a programme of up to five exhibitions per year, as well as running a series of offsite activities and events in the city and beyond.[5] It has hosted over 150 exhibitions featuring artists such as The Arts Foundation Future Award finalist Sadé Mica, Puppies Puppies, Turner Prize nominee Karla Black[6], Turner Prize winner Elizabeth Price, Bill Drummond, Jade Montserrat and Max Mara Art Prize for Women winner Emma Hart (artist).[7] The gallery runs a membership scheme which anyone can join.[8] There is an annual members show for which the gallery invites a new selector each year.[9] Previous selectors have included The White Pube, Ryan Gander, Catalyst Arts, Cerith Wyn Evans and Gavin Turk.[10] OUTPOST also hosts an alternating annual Open Film/Open Sound exhibition curated by a guest selector. Past selectors have included Stuart Whipps, Paul Purgas, and Ed Atkins.[11]
Since 2010, OUTPOST has managed a studio complex, known as OUTPOST Studios, at Gildengate House in Anglia Square, formerly the county records office.[12][13] It houses over 80 artist and practitioner studios, and is one of the largest studio complexes in East Anglia.[14]
History
OUTPOST gallery began as a project headed by the interns working on EASTinternational[15] [16]. EASTinternational was, at it's time, one of England's biggest annual exhibitions and was hosted in The Norwich Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts and spread across the city. Held every summer running from 1991 to 2009 and curated by Lynda Morris, Professor of Curation and Art History at Norwich University of the Arts,[17] it showed work from artists all over the world.[18] Norwich University of The Arts operated it's own gallery, The Norwich Gallery, which (besides Morris) employed a small staff sourced of active NUA students, recent art graduates and Royal College of Art students to help curate the exhibitions. The Norwich Gallery opened in 1997[19] and operates today as East Gallery NUA[20]. Morris attended a a symposium on artist-led spaces in 2002, which sparked her decision to permit funding for EASTinternational to be used to establish OUTPOST.
The founding OUTPOST committee was Kaavous Clayton, Julia Devonshire, Robert Filby, Neil Smallbone, Jay Barsby, Phil Gardner and Stephanie Douet. The name is a reference to a former artist-led space in Norwich named Frontier.[21]
The gallery is based on the model of Glasgow’s Transmission Gallery[22] which itself was copied from the model of New 57 Gallery, Edinburgh. New 57 Gallery ran from 1957 to 1984 until it merged with Fruitmarket Gallery, which was based on the lower level of the same building, in 1984. Those who didn't join Fruitmarket went on to form Collective Gallery that same year, continuing the original model. This model has been shared and followed widely, acting as the blueprint for Transmission Gallery (Glasgow), Generator (Dundee), Embassy (Edinburgh), Catalyst Arts (Belfast) and 126 Artist-run Gallery (Galway).[23]
In 2016 OUTPOST applied for and was granted the status of Charitable Incorporated Organisation, trading as Norwich OUTPOST under the title "#FBF696".[24] The charity's name references the yellow HTML colour code #FBF696 that has been used for branding and marketing by the gallery since it's founding.
In 2013, it was granted £117,000 in project funding from Arts Council England, committing to a strict format of programming and branding that despite the changing committee, have been adhered to.[25]
Gallery building
OUTPOST gallery’s site at 10b Wensum Street has a colourful history.[26] Originally married to 10a Wensum Street (now Dr Grey’s opticians) as Wensum House, the site was home to The Black Horse pub, whose pub sign still hangs on the opticians exterior.[27] The Black Horse ran from 1855 - 1969[28], repurposed as The Black Horse Bookshop from 1972-2002..[29] Today, visitors are greeted with the remains of signage for a ‘skittles saloon’. Many of Norwich’s pubs used to have skittle alleys but these gradually faded as room to drink and eat became a central focus for pubs, rather than playing games.[30]
Committee
Alumni of the OUTPOST steering committee have gone on to run other art spaces including Forma Arts (Chris Rawcliffe)[31], Piper Keys (Laurance Leahman), The East Anglian Fine Art Study Centre (Mark Wilsher)[32], LOWER GREEN (Johnathon P Watts)[33], Original Projects (Kaavous Clayton & Julia Devonshire), and Josey Gallery (Ben Brett & Jonathon P Watts).
Alumni have proved influential in art organisations across the country such as Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects and then Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (Elinor Morgan, curator & programming manager)[34][35], Raven Row (Amy Budd, deputy director)[36], Bonington Gallery (Joshua Lockwood-Moran, assistant curator)[37], British Art Show 8 (Sarah Horton, learning coordinator)[38], Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (Nell Croos-Myhill, learning programme manager)[39] and Frieze magazine (Jonathon P Watts, art critic).[40]
