Exhibitions

Yorkshire Artspace runs a vibrant exhibitions and events programme, based mainly within the reception area of Persistence Works. This provides an ideal public platform on which to showcase a wide variety of art and craft to diverse audiences.

There are approximately seven exhibitions a year, representing a whole host of contemporary art and craft, from new creations by silversmiths in our Starter Studios (shown every year as part of the Exit Series), recent work by established artists based at Yorkshire Artspace, to exhibitions by externally based artists and makers who we are pleased to represent within our programme.

We'll be adding more archived shows to this area of the website, along with details about forthcoming exhibitions. For more information about having at exhibition at Yorkshire Artspace, email info@artspace.org.uk

 

Forthcoming Exhibitions 2010-11

We are looking forward to an interesting Exhibition Programme for the forthcoming year, and hope you will share our enthusiasm in encouraging new audiences as well as our regular visitors. As always the Curatorial Committee chose, from the exhibition proposals, a programme that reflects Yorkshire Artspace’s Artistic Policy of exhibiting work by artists and makers and one that we think will be exciting and innovative. The year comprises of spaceholder and external applicants equally, and varies from makers mounting their first solo show to internationally renowned artists.

Hybrid, 3rd – 26th February, promises to kick off the year with a thought provoking examination of the relationship between Art and Science. Ex-spaceholder Lizz Tuckerman is one of the artists exhibiting her 2D and 3D work. 

From 6th March to 30th April, Yorkshire Artspace takes part in Art Sheffield 2010, Life: A User's Manual city-wide event.  Our reception features the work of Dutch artist Rachel Koolen entitle Admin goes Pomo, in which she brings into play and confronts administrative society.  Koolen engages with bureaucratic structures, the residue of modernism sometimes found within them and finds a certain elegance in their attempts to implement and make concrete 'ideology' driven policies. Also on display is the work of our resident artist Ruth Ewan.  Developed for Art Sheffield 2010, drawing on Sheffield's radical history, Moderately Wrathful consists of a series of 6 different prints distributed via all Art Sheffield venues.

Lovebyte’s present’s Owl Project: Instruments and Flow from 10th May to 18th June. This mixed media sculpture show is part of the citywide Lovebytes festival. 
Persistence Work’s spaceholder Emilie Taylor holds her first major solo ceramics exhibition; Come Up to My Place and Live it Up from 28th June to 5th August.
Two external artists then have solo exhibitions. Firstly, Carl Gent’s sculpture exhibition, The Universe is Poisonous, is in the Reception Space 11th August to 22nd September. Secondly, Priya Chohan mounts On the Mark, a mixed media site-specific installation from 29th September to 9th November.
2010 closes with Persistence Work’s Tracy Holland’s photography and video show Charged Vessels & Infinite Bodies, which runs from 15th November to the end of the year.
The final exhibition of this new programme is Porter Brook spaceholder Kate Orme’s The Still Point. This sculpture and drawing show opens on 10th January 2011 and runs until 18th February 2011.
