#Whitworth weekend 2: #CorneliaParker


Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View

So much to see and take in at the Whitworth Gallery. 18,000 people visited last weekend when it reopened. In the week it was busy but manageable and I was blown away by the Cornelia Parker exhibition. The war room draped in paper poppy offcuts was symbolic and moving. The blown up shed (Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View) caught in mid motion was artistically brilliant. To catch , freeze and display a moment in time of such movement is genius and ingenious. The hovering crushed cutlery and musical instruments (below) also made you think and captured the imagination.

2015 is going to be another great cultural year in Manchester.
