Open Online 2020
In place of our annual Open Studios, Paradise Works is pleased to announce the launch of Open Online 2020. Coinciding with what would have been the opening of the Manchester Contemporary, the weekend will encompass the launch of our online Multiples shop, preview of Soft Display exhibition and online film by Steve Iles. We’re excited to reopen our gallery space to the public once more for Soft Display within a limited and socially distanced capacity.
Multiples Shop
Launch: Friday 9th October.
Originally planned to preview at the Manchester Contemporary 2020 (currently on hiatus due to COVID), Multiples will now be accessible online.
Featuring contemporary artwork by Paradise Works studio members, each piece will be part of a limited-edition series, set at an affordable price and available to purchase through our webpage.
Supported by Art Council England’s Emergency funding grant, the shop is designed to financially support our studio members who have lost income or work, through the commissioning of new and original artwork.
Soft Display
Preview: Saturday 10th October, by Eventbrite booking. Or exhibition film available online.
Open: Saturdays October 17th- November 28th, by Eventbrite booking.
Artists: Dean Kenning, Kieran Leach, Liam Fallon, Jeremy Hutchison, Priscila Fernandes, Harrison Pearce, Maisie Pritchard, Tiz Creel, Rosie McGinn, Katrina Cowling, Andrew Lacon, Priscila Fernades, Harminder Judge, Richard Dean Hughes.
Paradise Works is pleased to present The Soft Display, a group exhibition co-curated by Division of Labour, Alistair Woods and Kieran Leach. The exhibition will explore new sculpture and a current preoccupation with the objective and subjective 'mass of things’, presenting artwork that offers kinetic, haptic, poetic and critical reflections on ‘the soft’ and ‘the hard.’
If you are unable to attend in person, an exhibition film by Steve Iles will be available to view online, on our exhibition page from the 10th of October.
Arranging your visit: Please book your Saturday appointment between the 10th Oct- 28th Nov, via Eventbrite here. If you would like to book an appointment outside of these times contact nat@divisionoflabour.co.uk.
