ART IN MANCHESTER

Leaves / Leaving was a participatory project by artist Lowri Evans which took place under three trees in Salford in November 2021. It was documented by photographer and MA Socially Engaged Photography graduate Joseph Lee. Reflecting on cycles of life, death and the act of letting go, Lowri’s project Leaves / Leaving asks what we can learn from nature – and what wisdom we might share with each other.

Theirs, Yours, Ours brings together the work of four University of Salford Alumni who explore queer and non-binary perspectives through print, photography, painting, and installation. From the 1990s to today, the artists in this exhibition explore what it means to be represented, celebrate identities that lie beyond traditional gender expectations, and reflect on the shifts in identity that take place over time.

We all make tracks - navigating our lives via trails and desire-lines, creating familiar routes as counter to life’s uncertainties.

As part of A Modest Show, the collateral programme to the British Art Show 9, this Open Studio event, supported by Islington Mill, is a celebration of a creative, culturally vibrant community that is firmly embedded within the local neighbourhood. The site is home to a heady cocktail of fine artists, illustrators, printmakers, textiles, ceramics, musicians, filmmakers, coffee roasters, curators, artist collectives, candle makers, performers, poets, bees (yes bees!) and more besides.

An exhibition displaying work produced by artists based in Unit’s 2 and 4 will be on display in the Unit 4 Gallery Site, curated by resident artist Owen Herbert.

Our multifaceted event looks to marry Contemporary art in all its mediums, performance, spoken word, theatre and food in a way that allows art and its consumption (its viewership ‘breaking bread’) to co-exist on equal platforms. As a collective, we look to question notions of ‘high’ art; we deeply consider practices of consumption and the lack of longevity that marks the art world - intending instead to underscore sustainability’s integral position in new art practices.

For this new exhibition, Goodyear has experimented with scale, making her largest and most detailed drawing to date. With heightened detail, bodies contort, a wolf-pack is tangled into a single entity of snarls and fur and figures explore sensations that hold an ambiguous balance of pleasure and discomfort.
