Cullinan Richards is a London-based artistic collaboration between Charlotte Cullinan and Jeanine Richards. Since 1997 they have been producing work ranging from painting to performance to film fusing personal histories with fiction so as to confront shared social and cultural issues. Recent solo exhibitions have included Girl Rider at Warwick Art Centre (2008), Objects from the Old Regime at Ritter/ Zamet (2005), Curating Degree Zero Archive at Imperial College (2005) and group shows have included Building Dwelling Thinking at Laura Bartlett Gallery (2008), Edge of the Real at Whitechapel Gallery (2004) and Summer Daze at South London Gallery (2005). In 2006, they have established Savage School Window Gallery, a gallery exhibiting works from a window in their studio on Vyner Street, London. Together they were on the panel of selectors for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2012.
