Detailed description is CMR is an artist-led initiative creating a community space for contemporary artists, based in Redruth, Cornwall. An Introduction to CMR. . CMR is an artist-led project space and membership initiative based in a spacious three story building in Back Lane West, Redruth, Cornwall. It opened its doors to the public in March 2012.. . CMR is designed to create a community of artists who can exhibit and flourish within this three storey building, and expand into and out through the local and wider community. We aim to encourage adventurous work that will respond and challenge not only to CMR’s various spaces but also the broader Contemporary Art landscape of Cornwall.. . Artists, writers, curators and musicians are encouraged to discuss and work together, by fielding exhibitions, discussions, social and skill-sharing events and workshops. A significant objective for CMR is to enable the contemporary arts to be accessible to the immediate community, both as a creative centre and for specific programmed events.. . The CMR space is ideal for exhibiting contemporary art in all its diversity and could include painting, sculpture, installation, performance, participation, relational aesthetics, text, digital media, photography, film and sound work. We currently do not support solo exhibitions.. . CMR consists of an elected group of Directors and a Membership of practitioners. It is a voluntary-run organisation and project, and has achieved it's growing success through hard work, commitment, and belief in its ideals. The current Directors have a wide range of experience, including event organisation, PR, exhibition curation, teaching and on-going involvement in artist-led and community projects. They are also working artists, specialising in painting, film, writing, installation, sound, graphic design and research.. . CMR does not receive any core funding and is supported through this voluntary commitment, and the development of the Membership initiative is vital to allow the continuation and growth of the project.. . . A brief history of CMR. . CMR is the relaunch of Cornwall Media Resource, an educational charity established in the late 90s. . . The organisation was originally called Cornwall Video Resource and began life in a room at County Hall, mainly as a membership organisation. It bought the building in Redruth in the early-mid 90s with the aid of an award from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts (FSA). The new institution was revenue funded by South West Arts (SWA) and employed a full time administrator, but when SWA hived off its film and video side to the newly formed South West Media Development Agency (SWMDA) the funding was removed and the organisation became entirely voluntary and run by the membership, who elected the directors at each AGM.. . The organisation became a registered charity in the late 1990s and was renamed Cornwall Media Resource, with a new constitution. Around this time there was a big upsurge in video production in Cornwall. Then came the first relatively cheap digital equipment, and the possibility of non-linear editing on PCs. CMR members and directors played leading roles in the formation of the CIA (variously interpreted but most commonly expanded as 'The Cornish Independent Filmmakers Association') that, with the coming of European Regional Development Fund Objective One funding to Cornwall played an important part in the formulation of the Cornwall Film Fund, with a budget of several million pounds.. . One sad aspect of Objective One was that the temporary existence of funding for Cornish film work accidentally killed off the collective, collaborative ethos that had previously underpinned moving image work here. Along with changes in technology that largely rendered edit suite-based production obsolete, the membership of CMR declined and the building became very little used.. . Cornwall Media Resource wound down its activities. The old building was rented as offices for a few years, then stood empty for several more. Fortuitous meetings on the MA Fine Art course at Falmouth Uni in 2011 led to Cornwall Media Resource being rebranded and relaunched as CMR - new, revitalised, reclaiming the empty building in the heart of Redruth, on the spine of Cornwall. CMR is a gallery, a project space, an organisation and a concept.
