  • News Release Embargoed Until 5Pm on Wednesday 11 October 2017
    News release Embargoed until 5pm on Wednesday 11 October 2017 Alistair Hudson appointed as new Director for Manchester Art Gallery and The University of Manchester’s Whitworth The University of Manchester and Manchester City Council have today announced that Alistair Hudson, currently Director of the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima), will be the new Director of Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth. Alistair will take up his role in the New Year. He succeeds Maria Balshaw at the Whitworth and Manchester Art Gallery following her appointment as Director of Tate earlier this year. He brings with him a wealth of experience at the forefront of the culture sector and a strong record of championing art as a tool for social change and education. During the last three years as Director at mima, he set out the institution’s vision as a ‘Useful Museum’, successfully engaging its local communities and responding to the town’s industrial heritage, as well as placing it amongst the most prestigious galleries in the UK. Alistair began his career at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London (1994-2000), before joining The Government Art Collection (2000-04) where, as Projects Curator, he devised a public art strategy for the new Home Office building with Liam Gillick. As Deputy Director of Grizedale Arts (2004-14) in the Lake District, he helped the institution gain critical acclaim for its radical approaches to working with artists and communities, based on the idea that art should be useful and not just an object of contemplation. Outside of these roles he is also Chair of Culture Forum North, an open network of partnerships between Higher Education and the cultural sector across the North and co-director of the Asociación de Arte Útil with Tania Bruguera.

Photo: author Joy for ever: How to use art to change the world (and its price in the market) was an exhibition held at the Whitworth, University of Manchester, from 29 March to 9 June 2019 (fig. 1). It was held to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Ruskin, the British artist, writer, commentator and educationalist, who was the principal voice campaigning throughout the nineteenth century against the ills of an increasingly industrial and dehumanising world. The exhibition also marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Whitworth in a post-Postindustrial era of ecological, political, financial and social crisis.

  • In Urbis Launched a Campaign to Find 'Best in Manchester' in Fashion, Visual Arts and Music
    Catapult 07: Recent Graduate work from Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Salford. 29 October 2007 – February 2008 at Urbis, Manchester. Urbis is set to reveal new talent from Manchester’s up and coming artists with a dynamic exhibition that will showcase over 70 pieces of some of the strongest and most innovative works to emerge from this year’s graduates from Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Salford. From 29th October, Catapult 07 will exhibit the final work from students studying a huge array of Art and Design courses, including subjects such as Interactive Arts, Fashion, 3D Design, Textiles and Product Design. The range of subjects studied by Manchester’s artists makes for a fascinating exhibition with a rich variety of subjects. It also created difficult decisions for Urbis’ staff and University Alumni who trawled the graduate art shows selecting original and imaginative work to make up Catapult 07. The standards were incredibly high and this year’s exhibition is set to be a great showcase of Manchester’s rising artists. Head of Creative Programmes at Urbis, Pollyanna Clayton-Stamm, stated, “I am overwhelmed by the standard, variety and professionalism of the work submitted by the students this year. The quality is exceptional and we are really excited about pulling together a show which promises to have such great depth, from animation to architecture and product design and jewellery to interactive gaming!” The scope of the exhibition is vast with exhibits including the Bog Standard Gallery, a portable toilet made in to a gallery of toilet signs from around the world by artist, Melanie Warner.

  • People's History Museum Timeline
    People’s History Museum timeline 1960s A group of activists, including the Trade Union Labour and Co-operative History Society (TULC), begin to collect historical campaign materials about the rights of working people. 1975 The National Museum of Labour History (NMLH) is opened by Prime Minister Harold Wilson in Limehouse Town Hall in Tower Hamlets, London. The collection on display to the public includes writer and political activist Thomas Paine’s (1737-1809) desk and banners that would go on to form what would become the largest collection of political and trade union banners in the world. 1980-1984 The museum rescues material that would simply have been lost otherwise. The museum also acquires the complete collection from prominent activist Walter Southgate (1890-1986). This sees the museum grow from one room in Limehouse Town Hall to the entire building. 1985 The museum acquires a vast part of influential artist Cliff Rowe’s (1904-1989) work including paintings, works on paper, sketchbooks and folios. Many of the images capture female scientists at work. July 1986 A Board of Trustees is created by Michael Foot MP and General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) Jack Jones. 1988 The museum’s future is threatened by a lack of funding, the collection is rescued by Manchester City Council and the Greater Manchester authorities, with the help of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). The move to Manchester begins. February 1989 Director Dr Nick Mansfield is appointed and builds up a team of qualified staff, and the existing collection begins to be properly catalogued and conserved.
