Oliver Basciano, Associate Editor of Art Review, joins Berlin-based artist Helene Appel whose work forms part of Parasol unitâs group exhibition Lines of Thought. Appelâs work involves a meticulous investigation of the stuff of the everyday, isolated upon raw canvas surfaces to highlight abstract forms and relative materiality. She has exhibited internationally with recent exhibitions at Mönchehaus Museum Goslar, Germany; Outpost, Norwich, UK, Wallspace, New York; Tate Britain, London and The Approach, London where she is represented.

Founded in December 2004, Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is a registered educational charity in England and Wales and a not-for-profit institution that operates purely for the public benefit. Central to the Parasol unit philosophy is a total commitment to artists and their creative endeavour, an attitude which leads to a singular relationship developing between each exhibiting artist and the foundation.
Every year the foundation organises four challenging and thought-provoking exhibitions of works in various media by contemporary artists, and also sets up a variety of other artistic projects. Each exhibition is accompanied by a publication and related educational events. The foundation does not bear the founderâs name, and its exhibitions are not derived from the founderâs collection. Admission to exhibitions is free of charge.
Parasol unit operates like publicly funded institutions in London. Currently 58% of the funding is provided by the founder and 42% through Gift Aid, charitable organisations, private donations and the sale of merchandise. The exhibition space has been put at the disposal of the foundation free of charge by the founder. Thanks to this new model between private funding and public support one of Londonâs most vibrant contemporary art spaces has come to exist.
