Function
Municipal Constructions
Under the full
power of light a secret witnessing of the dissection of the
electrical city. The workings of a city bleed into the chambers,
corridors and empty pools of a vacant Edwardian Bath House
as technology transforms the night. An installation work of
sound video and live performance by Graham Clayton-Chance
with an original sound score by Spencer HW Marsden. |

Feeling
Poorly Sophia New with Catherine
Large
'Don't come near
me - don't go away: comfort me, soothe me, talk to me.' Feeling
poorly looked at common illnesses and the visceral experience
of the ointments we rely on to relieve our symptoms. The nostalgic
smells, the textures, the hours that linger on as we are forced
to contemplate our bodily state. In the dark visitors are
led to a body to discover messages and memories. |

Pills
For Modern Living Third Angel
Always losing arguments?
Always falling in love with the wrong type of person? A photographic
installation from a theatrical moment, bringing you a new
range of pills that you just can't afford to live without.

Truancies
Matt Hawthorn
An act of homage
to ignored environments. A lone performer traverses a cities
boundaries, releasing fragments to an installation in Victoria
Baths. The work exists as a series of misrecognised collaborations
across the Manchester hinterland. Matt Hawthorn's work as
a performance artist looks at issues of space, identity and
meaning. |
