[RESOLVE Collective launches Material Store, a membership-based platform to access materials reclaimed from museums and galleries] @resolvecollective @tippingpointeast
π What
Material Store is RESOLVE Collective's community-building operation that collects surplus materials from cultural institutions to redistribute to local communities, creatives, and the wider public.
By integrating circular material processes into local communities, Material Store works as a platform to share knowledge regarding material reuse, disassembly, repair, and experimentation as well as creative material-led learning, growing capacities within marginalised communities.
π How
Material Store is run through a low-cost membership programme that invites people to actively participate in this story and build a community around the redistribution of material, skills, and power!
Current rate:
Individual - Β£4/month (or Β£3 for Newham residents)
Smaller organisation (fewer than 9 people) - Β£15/month
Medium organisation (10-25 people) - Β£25/month
Once registered as a member, you can browse the material catalogue online or visit Material Store in Tipping Point East to use the collected surplus materials for free, either by taking them away or borrowing them and returning them afterwards.
π Personal thoughts
When I recently visited in person (see second image), there was a wide range of materials from vitrine to wood to tables and benches. It's no easy work to operate such an ambitious and generous project, especially in the summer! Massive kudos to RESOLVE Collective for actually making it happen. π

We haven't covered artist studio compounds for a while!
[Mother House Studios - Lewisham
artist studios & creative co-working environment with integrated care @motherhousestudios ]
πΆπΌ What's special
Affordable child-friendly creative workspaces and art studios in Lewisham, South London. It opened in 2024 and is rooted in the original Mother House Studio model, founded in 2016 by Dyana Gravina as part of Procreate Project.
Studios and desk spaces available in a creative studio that includes playroom, enclosed garden and children's facilitator.
Inclusive and accessible pricing to lower barriers of entry for parents and carers in the arts and creative sector.
The approach challenges traditional childcare structures that often separate children from parents and parents from their workspaces. Instead, it fosters an inclusive environment where artistic practice and caregiving coexist, benefiting both artists and their children.

πΆπΌ Personal thoughts
I recently visited a studio holder there and was impressed by the relaxing environment and the abundance of space for children there (playroom and outdoor garden). π

[The White Pube - "one of the first truly new voices in British art criticism in the twenty-first century"] @thewhitepube
π Who
The White Pube is the collaborate identity of Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad. They've been writing art criticism together since 2015.
π What they do
Every Sunday, they post a text on their website (link in bio) about a cultural experience. Could be art, books, games, films, a theme park etc. They also read the text on their podcast.
They give a grant out to working class artists every month. And thereβs a library of successful funding applications where people voluntarily submitted materials.

Such sharp, sincere, down-to-earth cultural criticism with political awareness, across class, geopolitics, and disability justice! If you feel cynical about the art world sometimes, read or listen to them and you will find a constructive ally...π₯
