Post-Industrial Revolution
January 3, 2011
From January 15th to February 15th The Lombard Method will be welcoming Polish Artists;
Christian Costa
and culinary art group MASH/HER/DIP
working in residence as part of Post-Industrial Revolution, a curatorial project led by Roma Piotrowska and Kate Pennington-Wilson.
Post Industrial Revolution is an artistic residency exchange between the UK and Poland focusing on the cities of Birmingham and Gdansk, in particular the areas of Digbeth and the Gdansk Shipyard. The comparisons between Digbeth and the Gdansk Shipyard as post industrial sites are of significance, each city has at some stage been deeply affected by the demise of industry, its movement abroad, and more recently the development of cultural and leisure industries in these former industrial areas. The artists from Poland will begin the one month residency from the 15th of January, using it as a period for research and for the production of new art works directly responding to the district of Digbeth, its historical and social context. These newly created art works will be displayed in an exhibition at the Lombard Method from the 18th of February 2011.
