Auto Italia South East is an artist-run project and studio that commissions and produces new artwork – collaborating directly with emerging artists.[1] Throughout its history, Auto Italia’s work has taken many forms, ranging from collaborative public programming in temporary spaces, commissions and presentations in institutions and galleries, and digital commissions. Working at the heart of London’s independent and grassroots art scene, Auto Italia has gained a reputation as one of London’s most innovative spaces for counter-cultural artistic production.[2] Through landmark projects, artist-directors of Auto Italia have explored the project as an organisation, an artist, a community and a collaboration – enabling a community of artists to self-organise and produce experimental autonomous space.[3] Admission to all programmes is free.

In 2011, Arts Council England added Auto Italia to its list of National Portfolio Organisations.[4]

Auto Italia LIVE

In 2010 Auto Italia LIVE was launched in collaboration with LuckyPDF with five, one hour long TV episodes performed and broadcast live over the internet and to a studio audience.[5][6] In September 2011 Auto Italia began a second series of TV shows again performed in front of a live audience and broadcast live online from the space. This series focuses on how television affects expectations and perceptions of culture and public spaces.[7] Artists have been commissioned to produce new work for the shows including soap operas, factual programmes, documentary works, and human and mechanical choreography.[8][9]

Participating artists include Nathan Budzinski, Benedict Drew, Francisco Pedraglio, Heather Phillipson, Eddie Peake, Andrew Kerton, Leslie Kulesh, Rachel Pimm, and Lorenzo Tebano.[10]
