Upcoming Exhibitions
In the Main Gallery in 2009:
Anne Desmet: Urban Evolution
31 January to 29 March
Anne Desmet is one of the
most original talents in contemporary artist-printmaking.
She explores human aspiration through city-building and
architecture.
Urban Evolution features work made by Anne Desmet in the last
ten years, including a new series of twenty-nine images based on
the decline and regeneration of Manchester's Victoria Baths, the
first winner of the BBC's Restoration series in 2003.
In the North Gallery in 2008-2009:
Now Showing: New Film and Video from the Arts Council
Collection
10 January to 22 February
Film and video have emerged as increasingly important media
for artists in the past decade.
Now Showing will feature one projection a week for
six weeks.
The six works which make up Now Showing draw on a wide range
of influences: home movies, news media, grainy black and white
archive footage, TV documentary and mainstream cinema.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a small publication with
texts on the featured artists.
