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.
