Exhibitions in the North
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorBefore the craziness of Christmas takes over our minds, homes and wallets, we’ve done the hard work and rounded up some of the best new exhibitions to see in the North right now.
Folklore, ritual, plant consciousness and story-telling are recurring motifs through a number of shows: LORE at Sunny Bank Mills in Leeds and Cosmotechnics at FACT in Liverpool.
Louise Giovanelli: A Song of Ascents at the Hepworth Wakefield is a solo exhibition of the artist’s impressive large-scale paintings and masterful visual trickery.
The Skin We Live In: Portraits from the NGCA Collection challenges traditional portraiture with a group display of portraits that favour the collective experience over recording a likeness, while the Lowry presents the first in a series of exhibitions titled International / Local / National, with a trio of shows from contemporary ceramic artists.
