Mani Kambo: Ax·is Mun·di — Corridor8

2 weeks ago | corridor8.co.uk | Rachel Boyd |Kate Liston |Rene Francis- McBrearty

Patterns are a system of forms, rhythms, and refrains. Ax·is Mun·di– which translates as ‘centre of the earth’ – explores how pattern, observed and anticipated, can become a method of worlding: an ongoing, iterative act. Kambo’s development of this ensemble of practices was afforded through the expertise of BALTIC’s technical, curatorial, and production teams, emerging during her residency in the fourth-floor studio.
Dining in the kiln: Aliyah Hussain and the Touchstones redevelopment — Corridor8

3 weeks ago | corridor8.co.uk | Natalie Russett |Andy Abbott |Tom Taylor |Natalie Bradbury

Aliyah Hussain is at an exciting point in her career. Recent successes include a solo exhibition at Lowry; being featured alongside works by Salvador Dali, Leonora Carrington and Jean Arp in The Hepworth’s, 100 Years of Surrealist Landscapes; and an Artist Fellowship at the UCLan ceramics department. A ceramicist who also works across sound, collage and digital, Hussain’s work constructs narratives out of abstract and ornate sculptural forms.
In-Situ: Inside Out Pendle — Corridor8

1 month ago | corridor8.co.uk | Chantal Oakes |Sam Pickett |Natalie Hughes |Alessandra Saviotti

In her book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate (2014), Naomi Klein argues that climate change denial isn’t just about rejecting science, but that it’s deeply tied to the capitalist ideology we live within.
Local / National / International: Hussain, Proudfoot and So — Corridor8

Dec 20, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Jazmine Linklater

Local / National / International is the first of a new programming series at Lowry, conceived by curator Zoe Watson. The format aims to showcase Northern artists alongside artists from further afield who’ve never shown in Salford before. By presenting the artists side-by-side, it allows us to look at the similarities and differences in their practices.
Tania Camara: As I Am Naturally — Corridor8

Dec 18, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Jazmine Linklater

As we enter Lowry’s Aldridge Studio for the performance of As I Am Naturally by Tania Camara, the song Brinka Cumi by Batuko Tabanka, a female Cape Verdean singing group, plays through speakers and fills the space. Although the stage is empty, a group of Black women already sits at the back of the auditorium, filling about two rows of seats. They wear white tops with flashes of African print.

Sheila Gaffney: Embodied Dreaming — Corridor8

Nov 20, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Orla Foster |Sarah Pennington |Derek Horton

Sheila Gaffney’s feminist awakening happened while she was a student at Camberwell. In one sense, it was the most stimulating period of her life, an opportunity to spend hours in the studio absorbing knowledge from tutors who were masters of their craft, while also picking up habits and skills that would go on to shape her entire practice.
Middlesbrough Art Week: In the Now and the Far — Corridor8

Nov 11, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Danielle Ash |Uma Breakdown |Annie O’Donnell |Annie O'Donnell

Middlesbrough Art Week (MAW) 2024, in its seventh edition, demonstrated once again how contemporary art can serve as a catalyst for community engagement and social change. Running from 26 September to 5 October, this year’s festival titled In the Now and the Far addressed the crossovers between urgent social action and long-term future-building in the North East of England.
Zoë Carlon: Where and When You Are — Corridor8

Nov 4, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Gertrude Gibbons

Wakefield-based artist Zoë Carlon’s solo exhibition of new paintings at South Parade in East London is playful and evocative. I felt the paintings call to me, inviting me into a series of intimate scenes, into the interior spaces of an imagination wandering in solitude. I didn’t feel I belonged in these places, but that I was being allowed temporary access for an encounter. Where and When You Are coincides with the publication of a selection of photographs taken by Carlon, Photographs 2020-2023.
Georgia O’Keeffe: Memories of Drawings / Ailish Treanor: Ulterior Motifs — Corridor8

Nov 1, 2024 | corridor8.co.uk | Even Allen |Orla Foster

Two women from different times connected through a shared sense of playfulness – that was my first impression on arriving at Barnsley Civic for Memories of Drawings/Ulterior Motifs. Both artists offer up flirtations with flatness – landscapes like scenes dropping in and out at the back of a stage. We fill in the blanks, enjoying the deceit. The first artist is Georgia O’Keeffe, the ‘Mother of American modernism’: furtive, contemplative.
