Fantasies by Hannah Gartside to October 20
Hannah Gartside often works with items of vintage women's clothing - particularly underwear and sleepwear - to explore female subjectivity.
Fantasies is an ongoing suite of sculptural works which engages the materiality and embedded memories of these found items to convey both the strangeness of "being" in a body as well as a curiosity for, and delight in, new sensations.
The Digitisation Project - Behind the Scenes to October 27
This exhibition includes favourite pieces chosen by staff members who worked on a recent project that saw some 900 pieces from the Gallery's permanent collection photographed.
fifty and fifty something: Celebrating 50 Years of Collecting Fibre Art
