Tether
2007-ongoing
Tether is an artist group based in Nottingham, founded by graduates of Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University in 2007. Tether Studios consists of two galleries, The Wasp Room and Max Warburg Space, a social space with a screen for curated video works, The Black Swan, a disco-themed water closet, and an event/lecture space, Tethervision Studio. The group also operates as a collective, producing collaborative installations and video works, as well as curating an online archive for video art and videos about art, Tethervision.

Tether consists of artists Liam Aitken, Hugh Dichmont, Samuel Mercer, Lauren O’Grady, Apexa Patel and Hannah Phillips. Tether is supported by The National Lottery through Arts Council England.
During October, November and December this year, Tether are involved in a wide range of activity, ranging from projects at their Nottingham base -running exhibitions at their gallery spaces, screenings at The Black Swan, events and lectures in Tethervision Studio- to exhibitions and screenings around the UK, including at QUAD, Derby, as part of the UK Young Artists showcase.

And via Tethervision the group is releasing a broad spectrum of programming over the coming months, spanning the factual; interviews with artist/curators as part of the series 'Hither & Thither' which surveys the independent art scene of Britain; to specially commissioned moving image artworks, including new works by USA-based artist Derek Larson.
