INTERVIEW // GRAYSON PERRY

Is he a loveable character or a serious artist? There’s only one way to find out...

That good ol’ back and forth.

Practice makes adequate.

Privilege is a tricky thing to define, especially when sided.

Where Are You In These Interesting Times?

Shush (2018) - Commissioned Caricature 

Outsourcing : Because if you can't do it yourself, you sure as hell can find someone else to do it.

 Privy (2018) - Road sign, beret 

Not such an easy path now, is it? 

Now on display at AIR Gallery, Altrincham, Manchester. November 2nd - 9th 2018. 

Where Are You In These Interesting Times? 

Where are you in these interesting times? It’s not all doom and gloom, but some of it probably is. Artists respond to the question, acknowledging their immediate surroundings and global issues, reaching across the realms of absurdity that exist and unfold around us.

Air Gallery will play host to 21 artists’ reactions to contemporary global and local cultures, scientific and technological progression, the media both nationally and internationally, and the abilities and identities of the people that inhabit this provocative, disturbing and somewhat dystopian world we find ourselves in.

Where do we find ourselves within this? How do we find ways to cope? What is beautiful? Where do we find it, and how can we celebrate it?

Artists: Rosie Abbey, Agil Abdullayev, Ambience Factory, Robin Broadley, Evelyn Cromwell, Clever Cunst, Enne&Moffa, John Flindt, Jake Francis, Precious Innes, Colin Keays, Denise Kehoe, Kieran Leach, Lidia Lidia, Joseph Lynn, Kieren March, Tom Milnes, Robyn Nichol, Jhonatan Pulido, Trevor H Smith, Katie Thomlinson.

So, where are you in these interesting times?
