Our first set of residencies in 2015 start in March when artists Kit Craig, Joey Holder and Takeshi Shiomitsu, alongside Electra’s Irene Revell, will re-locate to Wysing from 23 March to 10 May. During the residencies we have programmed public events that take some of the artists’ ideas as a starting point to further explore the subject of The Multiverse, which is Wysing’s artistic focus across 2015.
