Taking its title from the Millennium Dome promotional slogan, Imagine What We Can Do Tomorrow is a solo exhibition by digital artist Duncan Poulton which relives and reimagines the dawn of the 21 st Century. The show includes new works in digital collage that have been developed around a major found footage video work titled Y2K, made in collaboration with artist Nick Smith. The pieces are shown amidst an immersive installation which will see the gallery covered in aluminium foil, rendering the room a no-signal, Wifi-free zone, also known as a Faraday Cage.

Moon Grove is pleased to announce ‘A Clay Hand’ by Patrick Hartigan, the artist and writer’s first exhibition outside of Australia and New Zealand. As a series of new paintings that open a conversation with the gallery’s Georgian architecture and garden, the works in the exhibition acknowledge a debt to historical and contemporary self-taught painting in Australia and Manchester, while showing a gritty amalgamation of unmonumental abstraction and figuration. Influences include early renaissance artist Piero dela Francesca and the Scottish-born Australian painter-wanderer Ian Fairweather.

Initiated in April 2021 and continuing to date, the Maker Space has been host to a wide variety of artists and makers – latterly including collaboration with artist members of Disability Arts Cymru.
