Possible Exhibition Spaces

As mentioned in my previous post, the working class movement library could be a possible contender as to where I exhibit my final show. I want somewhere with relevant meaning if possible and this is a great place which does just that. Having looked into this  space move on the internet, it is also in an idea location for my final show, it is close to the city centre and also only a stones throw from my university building just half a mile down the road. 

Other possible venues for my final show include the following. I will name possible venues and the talk about their suitability. I have included some more information about the WCML in Salford as well as adding the contact details of all of the venues I have chosen.

Working Class Movement Library

Working people have always struggled to get their voice heard. The working

class movement library records over 200 years of organising and

campaigning by ordinary men and women. Our collection provides a rich

insight into working peoples daily lives as well as their thoughts, hopes, fears

and the roles they played in the significant events of their time.

Media City Salford University Building

MediaCityUK is a vibrant place in which to live, work, socialise and study.

Home to major BBC and ITV departments, the University of Salford and over

80 businesses across the creative and digital sectors, MediaCityUK is

recognised as one of the most innovative developments in Britain.

“Our creative studio spaces include two industry standard HD TV studios

including a green screen and three radio studios capable of facilitating any

productions and broadcasts.

The studio spaces could be a great addition to your event – film interviews

with your guests or even broadcast your event live as it happens.

As part of our ongoing vision to produce highly employable graduates, by

making use of these studios you will have access to our undergraduate and

postgraduate students (fully supervised by University of Salford staff and

technicians) who will be there to support your project. This could be from

simple work shadowing to filming, direction and producing.”

There are two fully functioning state of art TV studios, possibly the highest

specification education studios in Europe.

This would be a very suitable location for the final show, it is clean, easily accessible and will attract a lot of foot fall, as well as being the north wests capital for media! Although I did say that I would have liked relevance to the project itself.

Corner House (Manchester)

Cornerhouse is Manchester’s international centre for contemporary visual arts

and independent film. The Cornerhouse and Library Theatre Company brands

will continue until the move to the new venue, and distinct programmes will

also be maintained until this time. Building on our heritage of Cornerhouse

and the Library Theatre Company, the new organisation will produce the best

in contemporary theatre, visual art and film, learning and participation,

creative industries and digital innovation.

Cornerhouse has a range of great spaces to hire for your meeting,

conference, networking event or party, including all three of our cinemas. Hire

packages include AV equipment and we also have a great range of catering

options to choose from.

Again, this space is in a great location however I am not sure if they will allow to show my final show due to this being a very sought after gallery.

More thought into which space I will choose needs to be done.
