Touring exhibition Other Transmissions travels to Artlink Hull this spring, where new works developed through Venture Arts’ ‘Conversations Series II’ artist residency programme will be shown alongside key works from the Whitworth’s Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection, one of the most significant public collections of Outsider Art in the UK. The exhibition explores stereotypes, and ‘art world definitions’ through visual dialogues in multi-media, film and sculpture.

Artists: Joe Beedles, James Desser, Amy Ellison, Frances Heap, Andrew Johnstone and John Powell-Jones, supported by Venture Arts’ James Pollitt.
