| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The Charity's aims are to advance public education and appreciation of art and architecture, particularly at their intersection. For artists and architects it offers opportunities for public display of work in prominent urban locations for innovative and self-built work. This objective is pursued predominantly through the annual Antepavilion commission which now attracts an international field of entrants. This year the annual commission has been augmented with a workshop initiative that is aimed at offering more limited support for projects of interest which are not suitable for realisation within the structured timetable and budgeting of the main commission. |
| Charitable activities |
| After a long but finally successful series of planning appeals the way was eventually cleared for resumption of the Antepavilion commission in our Hoxton Docks home. This initiative offers emerging architects, artists and makers a rare opportunity to create new work for public display. Until 2023 this display had been confined to the Columbia and Brunswick Wharf complex, Hoxton Docks. During the long period in which legal scores were settled with Hackney Council to keep Hoxton Docks alive as an Art display space the charity started to consider wider options for display of projects. In 2023 we supported a smaller project, the Skip House in Southwark. Last year we took that process a stage further and the 2024 commission was for a work to further develop the new Southwark display location for the works that Antepavilion has been sponsoring since 2017. Last year's commission, under the brief of 'Earthwork', was won by Found(ation). Entrants were invited to address the earth of a brownfield site in London SE1 now secured by Antepavilion as an addition to its Hackney site. |
| The wharves complex is a unique urban environment, situated on the Regents Canal in Haggerston, that hosts a wide range of independent arts and now commands widespread recognition locally in East London but increasingly also nationally and globally. Further information can be found on our website www.antepavilion.org. The commissioning and exhibiting of contemporary architectural and other 3D works and the hosting of related talks and events alongside the provision of affordable studio spaces in the heart of London have continued to further our objectives. |
| Through examination and discussion of the art-craft-architecture continuum we aim to develop appreciation of the importance of the symbiosis between them in our ever-specialising and over-regulated urban realm. The selection process for the 2025 competition is complete and the winner Moonument meets our objectives as well: an artwork, to be self-built by a young architect and prominently publicly displayed at Hoxton Docks |
| The completion of our study on self-build architecture in 2023 that aimed to survey and explore the alternatives to prevailing modern design and prescriptive living culminated in the publication of the book Architecture and Anarchism. It documents and illustrates diverse projects that embrace a libertarian ethos and self-organised ways of building. The book continues to sell in small numbers in various markets around the world and stands as an important illustration of the Charity's mission. |
| Provision of affordable studio spaces serves to reinforce this by maintaining a creative presence in a city where ever increasing rents threaten London's status as a world-class creative hub for the less commercial fine and applied arts. |
| Projects over the years have been attended by thousands of members of the public. We have successfully involved university students with our artists, architects and performers, helping to further the creative development of young minds. |
| We are grateful for the support received throughout the year from various sponsors. |
| Public benefit |
| The trustees believe that the activities conducted meet the Charity Commission's criteria of providing education in the fields of art and architecture for the benefit of the wider public and mankind in general. |
