From the Wikipedia article

Eastside Projects is an artist-run space in the Digbeth area of Birmingham, England. It is a free public space that is imagined and organised by artists. It commissions and presents experimental contemporary art exhibitions and proposes ways in which art may be useful to society. Eastside Projects was founded by six artists: Simon Bloor, Tom Bloor, Céline Condorelli, Ruth Claxton, James Langdon, and Gavin Wade. Eastside Projects is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. The current directors are Ruth Calxton and Gavin Wade. Group exhibitions have featured artists and organisations such as Art & Language, Mel Bochner and Grizedale Arts, while past solo shows include Liam Gillick, Shezad Dawood, Carey Young, Sahjan Kooner, William Pope.L, Sonia Boyce, and Dan Graham. Since the space opened in 2008, it has made a substantial contribution to Birmingham and its burgeoning reputation as a centre for contemporary art; through Extra ordinary People, the We Are Eastside Consortium, and other partnerships, it has successfully supported the developing ecology of artists, projects, and public art commissions.
