It Requires Getting Lost: Live!

Join us for an afternoon of live activation in the gallery! Like an expanded tour of the exhibition, this event will be an opportunity to meet the three commissioned artists Jocelyn McGregor, Gregory Herbert and Malik Jama who made new works for our current exhibition It Require Getting Lost which are exhibited alongside works they selected with us from the David and Indra Robert’s collection.

The event will begin with live projection mapping, digital drawing and animation by Malik Jama which will be accompanied by a bespoke sound piece by Jama not normally included in the exhibition.

This will be followed by three performers activating Jocelyn McGregor’s performance sculpture Karst Window (2025).

The event will also include an introduction by Gregory Herbert to his piece Well wishing, wishing well (2025) followed by an additional screening of an experimental 8mm collaborative short film made with participants at the gallery just two weeks before.

To conclude the event, the artists will be joined by Sarah Boulter, Curator and Creative Producer at Venture Arts - one of the exhibition partners - and Castlefield Gallery's Head of Programmes Matthew Pendergast for a discussion about the process of developing the exhibition, the thoughts and experiences they shared along the way.
