Many thanks to all our artists, visitors and the squat crew for sharing this with us!

Before we move on to transforming the space back to an artist studio, there’s still a few things about the show we would like to share with you:

Last Friday we had a small event at the gallery: altercation by enne&moffa was performed for the second and last time. We had a small but a lovely crowd to experience the work and the wine with us. I don’t usually repeat a performance so it was an interesting and new experience for me as well. It was lovely to hear the thoughts of our gallery visitors and by the sounds of it, people enjoyed the experience.

So that’s a wrap. Life at the studio will continue as usual. We decided to close the show early due to an expected eviction, but it looks like we get to stay at least a bit longer. Since we never know how long we get to stay and where, we won’t give any promises of the time or location of our next exhibition, but I can promise this: It will happen. Before that though, we are looking forward to our series of public place performances taking place all over Manchester. We’ll keep you posted.

Here are a few pictures from Friday and a documentation video of altercation from the preview. Thank you to SB Cooper Films for the footage.

]]> 504 Opening = Happening https://tapemodern.org/2018/06/06/opening-happening/ Wed, 06 Jun 2018 13:52:36 +0000 http://tapemodern.org/?p=406 First and foremost I want to thank all the wonderful artists who showed their work at Food to the Dogs and everyone who came to the opening! It was quite the night; we had a good turnout especially considering that this was Tape Modern’s first show and because of the secret location people had to wait for the release of the address to find our place, bit of a hassle but people made the effort. We had gorgeous works, plenty to drink (thanks to Sand Bar and Cloud Water) and the performances created engaging action. The vibe was SO good and we had loads of fun doing it all! We received loads of very positive feedback so I’m hoping that the preview guests had as much fun and were enjoying themselves as much as we were.
In all honesty, the day of the preview was manic and busy right up until the moment the first guests arrived, but once we got going, we were really going!
The exhibition will still be open until the end of the week and the performance by Enne&Moffa will be performed for the last time this Friday the 8th at 6 pm. To everyone who couldn’t make it to the opening, this is the last chance to see the performance, but the rest of the gorgeous show will be open every day from 12-18:00 until Sunday.
To all of those who missed out on the opening and to all of those who were there and wish to look back on the fabulous evening, here is a collection of photographs. We will be sharing documentation of the evening and the performances in the form of a video in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy the photographs and thank you for Mark Mace Smith and Katerina Eleftheriadou for the photographs, thank you also for SB Cooper Films for the video footage.
