Above the exhibition space (which managed solo shows by Lauren Gault and Eduardo Navarro this year), the residency studios at nonprofit Gasworks have been unusually filled with UK-based artists and writers. In more normal times the institution, which Antoniolli has directed since 2005, hosts 16 artists a year from all round the world. Indeed, a stint in South London has become something of a rite of passage for artists from the global south on the up. Currently, for example, Gasworks is advertising an open call for those based in Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe to come next year. Yet it is as director of the Triangle Network that Antoniolli makes most of his global inroads, a network of over 90 artist-run spaces across 41 countries, from Britto in Bangladesh to Capacete in Brazil to Thapong in Botswana to Rybon in Iran, with whom he collaborates on secondments, fellowships and discussions, and generally shares knowledge.
