20: Twenty
On 3 October 1985, Cornerhouse opened Human Interest: 50 Years of British Art about People, its first exhibition, curated by Norbert Lynton. Since then, the Cornerhouse galleries have hosted 248 exhibitions featuring over 2,000 of the world's most evocative and important artists. Alan Ward the designer of 20: Twenty (3 October - 6 November 2005) an exhibition and timeline celebrating the Cornerhouse exhibitions history brought his intuitive design and understanding of Manchester s art community together in this publication. In addition to the exhibition history, the publication includes The 10 Point Plan for a Better Cornerhouse, a project initiated by International 3, Manchester s independent gallery space, which brings the views and ideas from the current cultural community into discussion. An edited history of shows and projects in the Cornerhouse cafe/bar highlights activity in the social spaces of the building. A limited edition, Japanese bound book, this is a collector s item that documents the significant contribution Cornerhouse has made to the development of contemporary art internationally, in the UK and especially in the North West.
From the Margins to the Centre
Each of the chapters in this volume derives from recently conducted research grounded in an attempt to examine some of the issues posed in what can be described as postmodernist theorising on the nature of the contemporary city. Implicit in the very conception of the book, and running through each of the contributions, is the view that contemporary popular culture is crucial to the understanding of the transformations to which we refer, and that the investigation of this popular culture needs to move beyond the parameters of cultural studies to include sociological, political and economic analyses. In addition to students of popular cultural studies, the book will be of interest to all those studying sociology, urban studies and cultural studies, as well as those with a desire to have contemporary social theorising more firmly located in empirical investigation.
I Thought I Heard You Speak
Factory Records has become the stuff of legend. The histories of the label have been told from many perspectives, from visual catalogues and memoirs to exhibitions. Yet no in-depth history has ever been told from the perspectives of the women who were integral to Factory's cultural significance. The untold history of Factory Records is one of women's work at nearly every turn: recording music, playing live gigs, running the label behind the scenes, managing and promoting bands, designing record sleeves, making films and music videos, pioneering sound technology, DJing, and running one of the most chaotic clubs on the planet, The Haçienda. Told entirely in their voices and featuring contributions from Gillian Gilbert, Gina Birch, Cath Carroll, Penny Henry and over fifty more interviewees, I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SPEAK is an oral history that reveals the true cultural reach of the label and its staying power in the twenty-first century.
New Feminist Art Criticism
This text reviews feminist art strategies as they emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s in America and the UK. It draws together the views of prominent practitioners, critics, academics and curators on a broad range of controversial issues. The central focus of the book is feminism's engagement with psychoanalysis and post-modernism and its aim of deconstructing the borders between art and craft, and theory and practice. Feminist politics in the art world are also investigated through discussion of the negotiations of feminist curators, responses to feminist exhibitions, issues surrounding pornography and the censorship of women's work, and the role of feminist teaching on fine art and design degree courses. The book covers a variety of art work, including installation work, painting, textiles and photography.
