Radical Pairings: Art in Manufacturing

    Research output: Book/ReportBook

    Abstract

    In Blackburn in 2022, five women artists exhibited new work created during residencies with manufacturers in the North.

    Ranging from three months to two years, the residences of Hannah Leighton-Boyce, Liz Wilson, Nicola Ellis, Jacqueline Donachie, and Raisa Kabir were developed through the National Festival of Making’s commissioning programme, Art in Manufacturing, which was conceived in 2016.

    Art critic and writer, Elizabeth Fullerton, was invited to document these artists’ residencies, resulting in the essay Artists and Factories Make Radical Pairings. Discussing their practices and the unique nature of working as an artist within the industrial setting, Fullerton introduces work created in response to and alongside workforce communities.
