Cornerhouse

Part of Show & Tell

Overview

Come and get  a taste of what’s happening in the minds of some of the city’s leftfield innovators, as we bring Manchester’s visual arts community and thriving digital design sector together in a playful and informal setting.

Ten artists and designers will make lightning-quick presentations about a current project, experiment or source of inspiration – the ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

This time around our speakers are a mix of invited people, nominations from previous speakers and open spots for you. The line-up includes:

• Cherry Tenneson – ‘Artist-informant-cartographer’ of redundant objects and information. (Often seen documenting crumbs and plastic at an everyday desk top)
• Michael Trainor – founder of Pop Empires, Art makers and commissioners of art and events.
• Richard Schofield from weareboy, 3D guys in Manchester serving the creative industries with still and animated 3D CGI, video, and all things ‘motionified’.
• Mark Jermyn and Sally Gilford from one69a, a creative collective who specialise in screen printing, run educational workshops and run live screen printing sessions at events.
• Mishka Henner, Belgian born photographer whose recent work included No Man’s Land and recipient of the world’s smallest photography award! (which seeks to emphasise the importance of coincidence, grace and humility in photography).
• Amanda Bellantara from Kinokokophone, an artist collective that collects and composes sounds, stories and imagery from around the world.
• Drew Hemment from FutureEverything
• Filmmaker, creator and compere extraordinaire Maria Ruban.

Plus more to be announced – including YOU! Following our first event we’ve responded to your requests to include open spots and there will be two available at this event for anyone who wants to present a cool, interesting project they are working on (if you’re a designer please remember to focus on personal projects rather than pitching company work).
