Manchester

Exhibitions

Come and look behind the scenes of Manchester’s publicly owned sculpture collection. Part exhibition, part research space, Out of the Crate delves into the un-tapped history of the collection. This is an opportunity to investigate sculpture through access to stored collections and archival material. Find out what’s in store and how we look after it, help unlock hidden stories about works we know very little about and explore how artworks might encourage conversation. We have about 400 sculptures from antiquity to the present day and, until recently, less than 5% were on display. As well as modern and contemporary works, there are 19th-century sculptures and works from earlier periods that have rarely been seen this century and are under-researched. On display are a large range of materials including marble, bronze, wood, glass, ceramic and paper, a variety of sizes and shapes and different techniques of making. From bronze medals decorated with reliefs to large-scale free-standing 3D works, you can now see around 30% of the sculpture collection here. In terms of representation, we should also consider who has and hasn’t been included in the collection.

Now You See Her Now You Don't | Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre

Bury

Exhibitions

The exhibition comprises of a series of conceptually connected free-standing and wall-based works that materialis Chambers ongoing conceptual concern with the historical, social and cultural relationship between women and the spaces and objects of home. The title of this exhibition, Now You See Her, Now You Don’t, references the sleight-of-hand techniques used by stage magicians when things are made to disappear then reappear. Yet it also has wider connotations, for example the unseen reproductive labour undertaken women within the home, the invisibility of women in collective consciousness as they age, and the forced disappearance of women and girls, most usually into some form of sexual slavery.
