Economics the Blockbuster – It’s not Business as Usual
We are excited to announce a new project by the Whitworth, presented as part of this year’s Manchester International Festival MIF23.
Economics the Blockbuster is an exhibition that presents a selection of extraordinary art projects that operate as real-world economic systems. Together they propose new ways of 'doing business', driven by the needs and concerns of the communities in which they are created.

A Clay Hand
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.
