Mark Devereux Projects are delighted to
announce the launch of
PROJECTS: MANCHESTER
AND BEYOND MERELY ASSEMBLING EXHIBITION
FRIDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2013
Launching this November, Projects: Manchester is a new pop-up space
dedicated to nurturing and developing the work of emerging artists.
Responding to the current ecology and Mark Devereux Projects’ ongoing
ambition to help nurture the best up and coming talent, we are excited
to offer creatives a new test space. Emphasising Manchester’s reputation
for its support to early-career artists, the space will be available to
trial new ideas.
Taking residence in one of the eight floors of former office space at
the Co-Operative’s major Federation House in central Manchester and as
part of Castlefield Art Gallery’s New Art Spaces initiative, the
venue will offer artists the opportunity to showcase, develop and
experiment.
To launch Projects: Manchester, Mark Devereux Projects will be
showcasing the work of ten of the organisation’s associate members
responding to the title ‘Beyond Merely Assembling’. With works
considering the way in which we respond to the environment around us,
the spaces we occupy and how we often try to make-do with what we have,
the exhibition includes the mediums of installation, painting,
sculpture, video and performance.
Selected by Kerry Harker (Director The Tetley, Leeds), Gill Park (Director Pavilion, Leeds), Tony Charles (Director Platform-A, Middlesbrough) and Mark Devereux, each artist is
given dedicated one-to-one developmental and critical support from Mark
Devereux Projects, helping to nurture their ongoing careers.
Beyond Merely Assembling features the work of; Bettina Amtag, Tom Beesley, David Bethell, Phoebe Eustance, Charles Gershom, Aylwin Greenwood-Lambert, Mark Houghton, Katrien van Liefferinge, Kit Mead, Darren Nixon and Zervou-Kerruish.
Beyond Merely Assembling launches on Friday 8 November, 6-9pm and
continues until Wednesday 20 November. There will also be a special
event on Sunday 17 November, with further information to be announced
shortly.
