40 Years of the Future: WINDOWS
Together with Castlefield Gallery, guest curator Kate Bryan (Broadcaster and Curator) has selected artist Matthew Wood’s proposal for 40 Years of the Future: WINDOWS. Wood will create a breathtaking series of large-scale monochrome drawings, realised in his bold, distinctive and fluid style. Wood will create new work applying high flow acrylic directly onto the glass and across the windows of our regional venues. In Manchester, Wood’s lively drawings will also occupy Castlefield Gallery's double height space. Visitors will be invited inside to immerse themselves in his work.

40 Years of the Future: Degrees of Duality
Launching with Wood’s multisite commission, Castlefield Gallery Associate and Manchester Open Awardee Kay Shah will transform the lower level of Castlefield Gallery’s Manchester venue into an immersive environment. Shah’s 40 Years of the Future: Degrees of Duality, will be a large-scale installation simultaneously operating as a multifunctional space.
Shah’s work delves into the artist’s relationship with culture and identity; the spaces they create are a way to explore bi-cultural identity from an intercultural perspective.
Degrees of Duality will incorporate motifs drawn from different cultural traditions. References will include the fleur-de-lis, predominantly used in Europe, appearing alongside geometric and tessellated patterns that are more often found in Pakistani architectural design.
