Factory International have announced that an installation titled UTOPIA will be taking over the venue from Thursday, 19th to Saturday, 21st February.
Created by Trackie McLeod, it's a tribute to the places that raised us. Reviving the warmth of the working men's clubs that he grew up in, the venue will be turned into a pub. Set to explore themes of community, connection, gentrification, class and more, the exhibit will also be a t-shirt customisation workshop.
At night, the venue will be transformed and feature appearances from artists such as Rainy Miller, as well as a takeover from fellow Manchester venue the DBA.
