I’ve lived in Levenshulme for ages and hadn’t realised there was an Art Gallery just round the corner. It’s called Bankley Studios’ Gallery just off Chapel Street. They’re presenting selected work by studio members this week (14th to 22nd October) to celebrate their tenth anniversary. It’s worth a visit. More details here. The photo below is one of the pieces I liked, Morph contemplates the futility of human existence! Of course, it probably wasn’t called that but it should have been.
The work was called “hello?”, it’s meant to be a comment on the manchester arts scene, lots of talk and nothing of any great consequence happening. So you were close. Good to get a different angle though. Lots of shows coming up this year, hopefully more people come along.
