ONLINE ARTIST PANEL

Join us for an online in-conversation between exhibiting artists Melanie Crean and Pilvi Takala.

BOOKING ESSENTIAL — FREE

19:00
Melanie and Pilvi join us online to discuss their participation in the group exhibition, On the other side (on display from 1 March to 2 June). Together, they’ll explore the impact of systems of control on those who design them, those who administer them, and those who are subject to their enforcement.

The conversation will also surround the development and creation of each of the works Melanie and Pilvi are exhibiting as part of the exhibition. Melanie will discuss her new commission, A Machine to Unmake You (M2UY) (2019-2024), which has been produced in collaboration with imprisoned veterans at HMP Altcourse in Liverpool. Pilvi will highlight her work Close Watch (2022), based on the artist’s experiences of working covertly for global security company Securitas is one of Finland’s largest shopping malls.

The exhibited works will serve as a focal point for discussing systems of control, the everyday behaviours people learn and conform to, and how we might develop new relationships between those who hold power and those affected by it.
