THE OFFICE OF EXPERIMENTS

BACKGROUND

The Office of Experiments was initiated by the artist Neal White in 2004/5 as a result of a long series of interventions in knowledge spaces. The instituted process was based intitially on a concept to offer an open space in which to house small-scale experiments for artists prior to the implementation of a collaborative project between Neal White and N55 created; SPACE ON EARTH STATION, a project that finally took place in 2006. Operating as a social meeting point and studio/office, it aimed to provided a temporary space for experiments to be developed and tested that would later take place in the LAB space of the project. The first Office of Experiments was based in the administrative facility of our commissioning agent in Whitechapel, London. For an 18 month period, it occupied the corner of an office, with a small reading desk, drawing table, tools and work area:
