About
Rogue Project Space presents new work by Rob Bailey, developed during his 10-week residency in the space. Bailey was selected to be the first artist-in-residence at Rogue Project Space, a new initiative supported by Arts Council England. His 10-week residency has enabled him to research and develop new works, a selection of which will be exhibited for one night only on Friday 12th September 2008.
The exhibition features new work and signals a shift in direction for Bailey's practice, as he develops his previous illustrative and graphic work into 3-dimensional forms, exploring ideas around objects and sculptural form, and continuing his investigation into the use of colour.
These works in part, are a response to the physicality of the project space, and draw and expand on ideas and research into 3-dimensional formats, initiated and executed during his residency period (July to September 2008).
Rob Bailey (b. 1982, based Manchester, UK) graduated in BA (Hons) Illustration with Animation in 2005, from Manchester Metropolitan University. Recent exhibitions include: Hello World, a solo show at Common, Manchester, 2008; Stick, Stamp, Fly, Gasworks, London, 2007; finalist in Best of Manchester Awards, Urbis, Manchester, 2007; and Exposures, Cornerhouse, Manchester, 2006. Forthcoming exhibitions and projects include a co-produced short film commissioned by North West Vision, and a group exhibition at Cornerhouse, Manchester in late 2008, exploring drawing and animation.
