'She Laughs' at Nexus Art Cafe, Manchester

If you haven't made it along to the 'She Laughs' exhibition at Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester yet, head along before it ends on 21 October. I have a few things on display there, and prices start at £2-£5 for some of the prints, so what are you waiting for?

Thanks to those who came to the opening night on 11 September, and to the folks at Nexus who put the whole thing together.

'She Laughs' at Nexus Art Cafe, Manchester

Some more info on the 'She Laughs' exhibition in Manchester, which I have a few drawings on display at, starting this Friday - come along for the opening night if you're in the neighbourhood:

SHE LAUGHS 11^th September – 21^st October 2009

Opening Friday 11^th September 7 – 9 with performance

What does humour do, what does it say or can it simply function as something to be enjoyed?

Nexus is constantly changing & developing the ways in which it approaches visual art. Not being a ‘white cube’ adds a number of things to the work that is shown in the space & this exhibition, designed by Liz Gaunt & Dylan Thomas takes that forward in its installation. This space has been transformed as a heightened reflection of its Northern Quarter surroundings. There are many visual references to the shabby chic vintage shops & record stores all around making this exhibition something familiar. The visitors to this show know how to flick through records & are welcome to use the same action with the 12’ mounted pieces. Like there rest of the northern quarter enjoying the comfort of nostalgia, rummaging through like old records, absorbing their images the way you might next door or across the road.'

I have a couple of drawings on display at the forthcoming 'She Laughs' exhibition at the Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester which opens on Fri 11 Sept 2009. I'll be there for the launch, and I think there will be some interesting things happening that evening, so please come along!

(I'll update this blog should I hear any additional details)

Antifreeze / Trade City

I'm taking part in Manchester's first 'art car boot sale', Antifreeze, this Saturday (4 July 2009), as part of Trade City and the Manchester International Festival. If you're quick, you should be able to pick up one of my masterpieces for £1 or £2 at the 'She Laughs' stand (organised by Nexus Art Cafe).

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it up there, so please take a photo of the stand for me if you do go!
