Large Scale Urban Intervention
Mixed Media
New Commission
A new Manchester space will be revealed as a part of an artwork by contemporary art collective Agents of Change.
Fresh from their Ghost Village project transforming an abandoned village on the west coast of Scotland, the contemporary art collective Agents of Change will work in secret and at a monumental scale, transforming an urban location in Manchester with spray cans, paint and perception-altering art. The very special secret location is visible only over a video link, with clues to its location gradually released, culminating in a public opening on the last day of the festival.
FutureEverything has long been interested in place-making and reimagining the city, and the art programme explores our evolving urban condition, through a series of urban interventions, and artworks visualising the city in imaginative ways. Place-making through a collision of contemporary art and digital media is the focus in this new commission by art collective, Agents of Change.
