AgiTATE: 20th -27th of July- @ the Great Northern. [Units 25-28 1st Floor, Great Northern Warehouse, Great Northern Square, Deansgate, Manchester.]
The artistic underground conspire to show that there is more to Manchester than meets the officially sanctioned eye. It is about interaction between the public and 'art' in the face of the new trend for 'culture-lite' From the untrained street style of the new wave of Manchester grafitti artist, to the work of Crass album cover designer Gee Vaucher, AgiTATE will also showcase fine artists, photographers, cartoonists, performance and installation artists; as well as a number of slide show lectures, films and performances by contributors. We are also pleased to welcome Mark Cooley and Seth Tobocman over from America. Examples of work and short written statements are available for each artist.
Curated by Jai Redman with assistance from Helen Knowles and Kwong Lee
