Exhibitions in the North
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorSpring is here and we can finally turn our faces towards the sun like the daffodils on our windowsills. The change of season brings with it a flurry of new exhibitions large and small so take a look at our top picks this month.
Saan1 is home to Memoria et Locus for just one evening, a display that explores the idea of place and its complexities. All curators and artists involved are students at the Manchester School of Art – blink and you’ll miss it though, so mark the date in your diary. Castlefield Gallery closes its anniversary programme with a double display 40 Years of the Future: WINDOWS and Degrees of Duality in the gallery and beyond.
Sarah Roberts: SICK deals with challenging topics with cheer in a mesmerising body of work at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery in Leeds. Photography fans will want to see Photo North #6, an annual weekend-long programme of exhibitions, talks and screenings all about photography: there is no overarching theme but a rich variety of work and voices. Also in Leeds, clay becomes experimental in the hands of Stella Baraklianou – don’t miss Her Unstable Materials at BLANK_.
