Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Shift, Leeds
EmergeD, the art gang behind Rooted, a wonderful rolling exhibition in a shopfront on Woodlands Road in Glasgow, are launching a similar experiment in public art in Leeds:
The art project and exhibition, [Shift] will be reclaiming space in the shop unit 60-63 that resides in the Merrion Superstore, in Leeds’ Merrion Centre. Organised by the not-for-profit art group ‘EmergeD’ the project aims to ‘look beneath the everyday city’ and focuses particularly on Leeds as site-specific inspiration.
It’s a game of two halves. First, from the 15th to the 27th of March, in a phase dubbed Process Lab, passers-by will be able to sneak a peek at the 16 participating artists in action, then from the 27th to the 3rd of April their work will be on display.
If it’s anywhere near the standard of the now defunct Rooted project, Leeds-based readers (hello Kate & James!) should be in for some great stuff to look at.
Just to let Glasgow folks know, that, although [rooted] is no more, a new programme (following the success of [rooted] and [etis]) will be starting in shop front on Woodlands Road. Watch that space!
