Spring Bank Mill Art Show
30th July 2011
the preamble - My friend Sam (together with the artists and hard-working friends) organised an art exhibit at a mill in Whitworth that's scheduled for demolition. There were a load of people exhibiting - everything from photographs and paintings to sculptures and AV installations. This isn't a record of the work that was exhibited. And there's three reasons for that. Firstly, because I didn't shoot any photos of the work - it seemed a bit odd to be taking photos of photos; secondly, I think that the pieces needed to been seen in the context of the mill space itself; and finally, because I forgot to take any kind of note of who had done which pieces...

...until they wear themselves outAs I mentioned above I didn't keep notes of who'd done which pieces, so if you know - or they're yours - then drop me an email and I'll update this with proper credits.
