Alli Beddoes is a writer and curator based in London.
Alli is currently working on her debut novel which expands and develops her ongoing research exploring [re]presentations of beliefs, wishes and fears for our culture, the city and the future of contemporary art practice.
In 2007, Alli developed the format of Autonomous Series. Two solo shows by artists Matt Golden and John Tiney, who each made new works, provided grounding for the film programmes and discussion evenings. This premise guides Autonomous Series the discussion evenings by positioning them in a way that implies and requires professional, conceptual and theoretical backgrounds to provide material that can be used to explore ideas through the introduction of new exchanges, linking or threading science, history, art and architecture together. These elements can be referred to as tools and used to dissect and investigate the artist?s work in alternative ways. Autonomous Series was supported by Campbell Works.
Alli Beddoes was the co-founder of Capital Art Projects with Kaye Winwood established 2003, which was funded and supported by Art Council England.

Pil and Galia Kollectiv are London based artists, writers and curators working in collaboration. Their work is primarily film and performance based, but extends to sculpture, installation and collage. It explores utopian discourses of the twentieth century and the way they operate in the context of a changing landscape of creative work and instrumentalised leisure and the role of politics and commerce in relation to the paradigms of modernism and the avant garde. They are contributing editors at Art Papers and have written for many publications including Art Monthly, Mute and Plan B. Recently they have had a solo show at The Showroom gallery, Asparagus: A Horticultural Ballet, and curated a group exhibition at the Pump House Gallery, The Institute of Psychoplasmics. They work as visiting lecturers at Hertfordshire University and Goldsmiths College.

Georgia Korossi is a visual arts researcher and writer based in London and Athens. She is currently a member of the cultural history department at Goldsmiths College, contributor to VELVET magazine and since 2006 she has been a coordinator to BFI Screenonline and Mediatheque projects that draw public access gateways to the National Film and Television Archive in Britain. Her work looks inside the philosophy and politics of the archive and its use in visual cultures through copyright laws, memory and repetition. Specializing in artists’ film and video and the digital/mechanical landscape in video and sound installations, her work is concerned with issues surrounding artistic practice in relation to the themes of space, time, memory and power. In the past eight years she has collaborated as editor, researcher and artist with a number of galleries, artists run spaces and publications including Vilma Gold Gallery, BasementArtProject.com, This Is Not A Gateway, Photo London and Pluk.
