imminent stuff
Marco Frezza is exhibiting prints at Rogue Project Space.
From the poster:
Marco Frezza's new prints are catalogues of failure. Not merely the failure of
drawings of the human face to register the giddy whirlpool of the human psyche;
these are much hollower affairs, a parade of gurning and posturing
impersonations of emotion.
Across town at Fuel Cafe Bar The Noise Upstairs returns. And once again I'll miss it.
The Noise Upstairs is 'focused around a monthly free-improv jam night in Withington, Manchester. The basic premise is that anyone can turn up and join in by putting their name in the hat. Names are then pulled out in threes and the resulting trios improvise together and so on.'
Instead I'll be in Salford at Islington Mill to see Charles Hayward with support from Barberos and Gnod.
Looking ahead just before The Other Room and Counting Backwards (previously covered) Manchester Artists Bonfire takes place on Friday 28 January. I will perform alongside Womb Collective and Paddy Steer.
Details of the bonfire can be found at the blog linked to above. This is the inaugural event. It is described on the blog as follows:
An annual art incineration for every practising artist in Manchester. Out with
the old, in with the new.
This January a plethora of artists
working in Manchester will join in a mass art burn. Artists submit their pledge
to take part with a paragraph of writing related to their thoughts, feelings,
responses about and reactions to this event.
I will write more about the bonfire shortly.
To pledge work send your name, a description of your practice, a link to your website/blog if you have one, a 250 word pledge, and details of the work to be burned (a maximum of 100 words plus one image)to manchesterartistsbonfire@gmail.com. Details on this page.
