Lineup and details for Buzz of the Modern Bee on Saturday 4th July 2009

Buzz of the Modern Bee

4th July-31st July (Monday-Sunday 10am-6pm)

 

Gerard Jenkins-Omar

 

The ‘Buzz of the Modern Bee’ looks at the soul

of a Noughties Manchester through the eyes of

twenty three year old Mancunian writer,

Gerard Jenkins-Omar.

 

A poetic view is cast over the events of the past decade;

a ten year period which has seen Manchester

aesthetically transformed and its seat cemented

as a hub for arts, businesses, architecture and sports.

 

The Manchester born writer has fused

traditional poetry methods with an Avant-garde style of writing,

attempting to captivate passers-by and visitors to the Urbis

and encourage them to enjoy the creative outlets

that written poetry can provide. Overall, the pieces celebrate

the noughty success of the city, whilst keeping some

timely reminders at the fore.

 

There are seven pieces of work; four that can be viewed

upon the Urbis windows from Cathedral gardens

and three that can be seen from inside the Urbis Café.

 

The ‘worker bee’ is the most symbolic image of Manchester’s

industrial past, used to represent hardworking Mancunians.

The exhibition title ‘Buzz of the Modern Bee’ uses this

symbol and looks at the hive modern Bees find

themselves buzzing around in.
