I recently ventured out with some of the Design LAB group to check out a new space in Salford called Artwork Atelier. It is a new initiative to help Manchester (and Salford’s) creatives flourish. It’s an old lighting warehouse on 95 Greengate which they have gutted to create a collaborative cultural/business initiative. The space is vast and they are just in the early stages of developing it. The guy (apologies for not remembering his name) who showed us around said that they have a space available for a maximum of 10 students for 6 months for free, all we need to do in return is present a proposal. the Design LAB team have been working on a kettle space proposal recently which they are just about to send through, but this doesn’t really fit in with any of my current practice. Whilst I would love to get involved I have to remember why I am here and how much work I have to get through. And so I am hoping to write my own proposal to use the space as an exhibition venire to test out or actually host the full event of a couple of my projects - “Get Your Bits Out” & “To keep or not to keep?” As I am still in the early stages of developing these ideas I don’t think it is quite the right time to write these proposals for the venue just yet until I have researched and experimented a little more.
