Through its programme of residencies, Standing Room offers curators the time and freedom to develop independent projects in a studio space, and offers artists the opportunity to experiment with the presentation of their work outside of conventional gallery settings. Standing Room residencies support the professional
development of curators and artists, providing a hub for practice-based
research within an environment that encourages collaboration and
peer mentoring. |

| "Xymphora’s work intersects with derided strains of modern political and social thought such as colonialism and fascism, the interest lying in both what they ‘see’ and where they can be ‘seen’ in contemporary visual culture. We produce work in video, performance, sculpture, print, text and drawing and believe our aesthetics and artistic sensibilities more telling than a weighted response to a given topic would be. We are trying to make things that are new. The proposed work concerns itself with the explorative paradigms and redemptive ethnographic tendencies of the cultures and attitudes that spawned it. In the same manner that our ongoing project Initiation Rites Anthology is both about ritual and of it, if we exploit whilst we explore then we are complicit with that contradiction."

| Re-Form Her work is concerned with the environment, recycling and reuse of materials. She is currently exploring ideas around consumerism and shopping, and challenging herself to produce community led work that engages new art audiences. 'My work crosses the boundaries of fine art, craft, design and community art and I'm interested in the value systems that surround them'. Anna Roebuck A Standing Room residency is allowing Roebuck to revisit a project that had previously been forced to a premature end due to lack of resources and support. The project is motivated by the use and reuse of objects and the sharing of skills and ideas. Its theme is the examination and recreation of the shopping experience. Roebuck intends to invite participants to bring unwanted objects to the space and work with her to transform them into something new. Roebuck will coordinate public participation through a series of 1-2-1 sessions and an ongoing see webblog |

Crumb is an exhibition and events programme designed for the Harrington Mill, Standing Room by Amelia Beavis-Harrison. The exhibition element of the programme aims to give an insight into the practices of six of Nottingham based artists taken from various groups around the city. The artists have been selected as collaborative duos, to work together towards a final exhibition point, with artists from the same studio groups working together. The artists have been selected to work together in a some what ‘chalk and cheese’ situation with none of the pairs previously collaborating prior to the exhibition, and with individual practices varying considerably as well as each duo being at different points with in the organisation and their individual careers. Where as the exhibitions take artists from Nottingham, the talks take four groups, projects, and organisation that are from out side of the Nottingham community, with groups varying considerably in terms of set up, aims, audience and social standing, each with an invaluable opinion, which will come across with in the talks, the talks are based around Insight, Location, Collaboration and Ambition. Popcorn is a series film screenings curated around the BBFC’s (British Board of Film Classification) classification system with films being shown with relevance to each category. The films show no set correlation to each other and work independently as their own miniature showcases. Crumb is producing a publication to compliment the Crumb events and exhibition programme |
