Beyond Merely Assembling

About

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 building 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.
