Charli Herrington

For Supermarket 2024 we share work related to process – process in the sense of DIY/DIT (do it yourself/together), forgotten skills and becoming engaged in non-productive productivity. Exhibiting artists are Berksun Çiçek, Charli Herrington, Vlada Predelina, and Gordon H. Williams. By examining processes, we learn how we got to be where we are now, which enables us to re-envision society.

Residency exploring food and the body - 'The joy of exhausted, overtired and underpaid cooking'

Exhibition for Uitfeest Utrecht at Casco

Juxtapose Art Fair is an international biennial for artist-run exhibition spaces and other independent projects.

How can we create more caring and safe food systems? Through her research Charli Herrington will explore where our food comes from through looking at her personal history and involvement in food production and interacting with local food systems in Rotterdam. The beginnings of this research at Goethe-Insitut will manifest as a series of artistic investigations through engaging with people and experimenting with visual, aural and sensorial methods.

The practices present in aka MAMA are connected by a thread of intimacy—sharing what is deeply important for each participant in this moment. Some of them allow you to take with you a small physical piece of their work, and some give you a new knowledge or perspective to return home with. The many components of the program are made for you to connect, to think, and to feel. aka MAMA is a gathering space, a bike ride, a corner store, a meal, a siren, a time capsule, a song.

Traveling Farm Museum of Forgotten Skills 2022 Spring Collection is the first collection-exhibition of the museum held at Casco Art Institute. Here, we are metaphorically and literally spring cleaning – sorting out “things” stocked not only in the depot of TFM but also in the minds of many who were part of the journey of the museum. The exhibition “re-collects” what resources and relationships have been cultivated over two special years, and shares these resources with the public.

An evening of bittersweet flavors where Artists Charli Herrington and Gordon H. Williams share about their collective work Family Dinner, focusing on the many ingredients that constitute community-based projects. Through making an amaro, we will learn together about combining ingredients - how to bring out the sweetness in each other, contrast with each other, nurture each other and blend into a complex whole. We will use this activity to open up a discussion on collective processes.

Family Dinner was built upon a collective experience in research with/through reproductive labor (cooking, cleaning, planning, etc.) with themes of hospitality, sharing and gifts— The cookbook is not just a collection of recipes, but an experiment through learning and eating together. The self-published cookbook release and pop-up exhibition with work from the artists from the Family Dinner residency will take place in Rotterdam Feb. 26-27 (more info to follow).

Work period focused on the project 'Family Dinner' preparing to collaboratively create an artist cookbook with the themes hospitality, sharing and gifts. During the residency we made a short film 'And You Plan And You Gather'. It documents the process of making an amaro and the time, patience and care that goes into it.

The Mutual Support Platform (MSP) is a space for conversations and actions by / between / for students, alumni, and teachers of the MAFA HKU, Utrecht. MSP is dedicated to working on how to deal with conditions collectively, to intervene, to document these processes and trajectories, to imagine and act, to unlearn, and to support one another.
