  • Thurs 25 March Additional Programme Information 090310
    From the Margins to the Core? Conference Additional Programme Information Day 2 - Thursday 25 March 2010 Connecting or Competing Equalities? 09.30-09.50 Title: Diversity and cultural policy This presentation will suggest how contemporary concerns with diversity and difference present particular challenges for mainstream art historical and curatorial practice. It will locate Dr Leon Wainwright’s own practice, which overlaps historical research, collaborations with museums and galleries, and curatorial work. Briefly, he will set out the broader intellectual background on which the concept of ‘margins and core’ has emerged in the academy, and suggest why opportunities for exploring transnationalism may also become the site of ‘competing equalities’. The examples for this range from the institutional life in Britain of World Art Studies, and two exhibitions in Liverpool in 2010. Chair: Dr Jo Littler, Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University As well as being the Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Middlesex University, Jo Littler is co-editor, with Roshi Naidoo, of The Politics of Heritage: The Legacies of Race (Routledge 2005), author of Radical Consumption? Shopping for change in contemporary culture (Open University Press, 2009) and an associate editor of Soundings. Speaker: Dr Leon Wainwright, Senior Lecturer in History, Art & Design, Manchester Metropolitan University Leon Wainwright is Senior Lecturer in the History of Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, Visiting Fellow at the Yale Center for British Art, a member of the editorial board of the journal Third Text, and Guest Curator, with Reyahn King, of Aubrey Williams Atlantic Fire (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 2010).

  • 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.

  • MAGPIE Report
    The MAGPIE programme A summary of the practice and impacts of a partnership between museums and schools in Manchester 2004-2010 Edited by Jael Edwards March 2011 Forward This report details the lasting impacts of an innovative partnership between Manchester Children’s Services, local schools and cultural organisations. The programme focused on increasing children’s enjoyment and attainment through creative literacy work. “The success of the Museum and Galleries Partnership in Education (MAGPIE) programme has shown that museums and galleries can have a measurable impact on the aspirations and attainment of pupils and increase the confidence of their teachers to work with cultural organisations. By working closely and sharing objectives with Children’s Services we can help pupils achieve their potential and use the MAGPIE model to create a sustainable and powerful legacy for partnership working.” Virginia Tandy, Director of Culture: Manchester City Council “One of the main successes of the MAGPIE programme has been the way schools have embedded museums and galleries partnership work into their curriculum. Some schools now have a creative approach to such work written into their whole -school policy; there is a strong network of Lead Practitioners providing peer to peer and school to school support and the training element of MAGPIE has enabled teachers to take on self-guided projects thus enhancing the projects and resources of the museums and galleries.” Wendy Middlemas, Head of Education Services, Manchester Children’s Services 2 Contents
