Auto Italia è un'organizzazione basata a Londra che commissiona e produce nuovi lavori di artisti emergenti. Fondata nel 2007, ha lo scopo di fornire le condizioni utili per lo sviluppo di approcci alternativi alla produzione e distribuzione di arte contemporanea. Ha dato vita in questo modo ad un vasto catalogo di operazioni aggregative che include progetti espositivi (Golden Age problems, Yes Way!, EPIC, Honey Honig, opti-Me*), di brodacast (Auto Italia Live), piattaforme on-line e di riflessione critica (Immaterial Labour Isn't Working, Where the possible begins, Meet Z *Now Live*, POLYMITH X Miss Information), mescolando spesso i differenti approcci mediali e inventando formati ibridi che attraversano pensiero teorico, displying e disseminazione mediale. Auto Italia Soth East è attualmente gestita da Kate Cooper, Marianne Forrest e Marleen Boschen con l'assistenza alla produzione di Edward Gillman e il supporto di Benedetto Drew, Amanda Dennis, Lorna Gemmell e Ben Vickers.
