Our Big Day
Finally our big day arrives! We opened our annual commission Haroon Mirza/hrm199 and Invites: Rebecca Ackroyd
Our Big Day
The show was a sensational success and a tantalising effect on all the senses. ‘9/11-11/9 Fear of the Unknown’ 2017 is the first time Mirza has shown this body of work in the UK – mesmerising viewers
Our Big Day
His wonderful algorithms were working in full glory and we were all hypnotised by ‘The System’ 2014 which was reworked to be exhibited in our Methodist Chapel building
Our Big Day
Rebecca Ackroyd’s presentation was most accomplished and complete. I love her work!
Our Big Day
We had a great turn out at our celebratory lunch for Haroon and Rebecca. Everyone was out in force including Frieze Art Fair Director Victoria Siddall, jewellery designer Loree Rodkin, collector Joyce Ostin, Whitechapel Gallery Director Iwona Blazwick and Tif Zab

The opening was a big hit with 700 visitors through the doors and a couple of doggies to boot
