It Requires Getting Lost: Curator Tour

Join Matthew Pendergast (Head of Programmes, Castlefield Gallery) for a tour of our exhibition It Requires Getting Lost.

It Requires Getting Lost is the result of a unique partnership between the Roberts Institute of Art (RIA), Venture Arts and Castlefield Gallery. Three artists working in the North of England –– Gregory Herbert, Malik Jama and Jocelyn McGregor –– have been invited by the partner organisations to work in dialogue with one another and in response to major works from one of the UK’s most significant private collections, the David and Indrė Roberts Collection (managed by RIA). These major works – including pieces by Wolfgang Tillmans, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Pierre Huyghe – were co-selected by all involved and will be featured in the exhibition.

It Requires Getting Lost is commissioned and produced by Castlefield Gallery, the Roberts Institute of Art and Venture Arts, with additional support from the Brian Mercer Trust, The Haworth Trust and The Granada Foundation. Castlefield Gallery and Venture Arts are generously funded by Arts Council England and Manchester City Council.
