The Middlesbrough Art Weekender 2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Middlesbrough Art Weekender (MAW) is an annual contemporary arts festival held in Middlesbrough. From 26 to 29 September 2019, MAW brings a full programme of events, exhibitions, performances and screenings to venues across the town centre. The focus of MAW2019 is\u00a0autonomy<\/em>\u00a0and local, regional and international artists are invited to present work tackling and responding to this.<\/p>\n

Across the four-day run of the festival, there will be an interactive installations at the Middlesbrough Town Hall<\/a>, screenings of local film\u00a0The Creek<\/em> at MIMA<\/a>, dye-making workshops and much more including public artworks, kinetic sculpture, six exhibitions and live music. The festival opens on Thursday 26 September at 5.30PM with\u00a0an art trail across Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

The exhibition\u00a0Autonomy<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>will be\u00a0hosted at the Auxiliary Project Space and presents the engagements of artists with their negotiations with history, landscape, memory, icon, the state, technology or each other, responding to the question:\u00a0What does it mean to speak of autonomy – artistic, political<\/span>, cultural<\/span>, financial – at a time when reality has been turned on its head<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Sheffield Hallam University’s Rose Butler<\/a> and Michelle Atherton<\/a> will both feature in the exhibition. See the full festival programme here<\/a>\u00a0and details about the artists taking part here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rose Butler<\/a>\u00a0is an artist, researcher and senior lecturer of Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University, she works with video, photography, sound, animation and installation. She is a Doctoral Researcher registered in\u00a0C3RI<\/a>\u00a0and sponsored by the SHU Vice Chancellor\u2019s Scholarship Scheme. She is also a board member of\u00a0Bloc Projects<\/a>\u00a0and a freelance artist mentor. Find out more about Rose\u2019s work\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michelle Atherton<\/a>\u00a0is an artist working with images and temporal states, that is researching particular moments or sets of conditions in our collective histories. The aim of the work is to probe these entanglements and the complexities that surround us. All her work is image-based, holding a long-standing fascination with the fact that images appear to be all front. Part of the research investigates the potency of the image in its rhetorical and ambiguous forms; and our encounters with it. The work often incorporates video, photography, sound, collage and writing. The work cultivates a type of image-dissonance, through a series of after or pre-images. Her artwork and research has been supported by the Arts Council UK and the Arts and Humanities Research Council and shown throughout Europe in variety of contexts including galleries and museums, festivals, and conferences, and via publication.<\/p>\n
