Word of Warning...
So, we're back for possibly the last burst of the season, which follows what has been an emotional rollercoaster week: For the arts, courtesy of the outcomes of the ACE's National Portfolio process - congratulations and sympathies go out in equal measures - alongside our own relief and gratitude for another three years funding; and for me, courtesy of my own house-moving maelstrom.
Things seem a bit quiet out there, apart from in Liverpool where tomorrow (Sat 5 July) sees the opening of the newly extended, bumper Liverpool Biennial which runs until 26 Oct.
Closer to home Eggs Collective Get A Round at the Royal Exchange also on Sat 5 July; and the following week should see a Tales of Whatever on Wed 9 July at Gullivers Ballroom.
We, meanwhile, are gearing up for our own micro-biennial: Hazard, on Sat 12 July, 12-5pm, in and around St. Ann's Square, Manchester. Nineteen pieces of work playing with the daily life of the city, ranging from a human-powered ride in the form of a lifeboat to a trail of Hidden Women through the city streets; body-focused interventions from Nicola Canavan and Kris Canavan to gaming from The Larks. The full list of artists is at hazardmcr.org now with full detail coming early next week - seek it out or let it find you as you go about your Saturday shopping!
Word of Warning will be back next Friday with a Hazard special - so until then
best
