Signal Film & Media/Cooke's Studios, 104 Abbey Road, Barrow

Thursday 27th November, 10am until 5pm Monday to Saturday

Signal is proud to announce its most experimental and ambitious group exhibition to date, shaped by land and protest, launching this November in their newly refurbished gallery spaces in Barrow-in-Furness. The Artist Lab features 14 outstanding artists from or connected to Cumbria. This expansive exhibition marks the culmination of 2 years of artist development, experimentation, and deep ecological enquiry as part of SIGNAL's Artist Development Lab.

The exhibition is the public highlight of SIGNAL’s Lab programme – an innovative space for artists to explore the intersection of digital art and environmental themes in contemporary art practice. It is the first multidisciplinary group exhibition in the new venue, and it explodes with the energy that defines not only SIGNAL’s next chapter, but the generation of artists staking bold new ground in the North West’s cultural landscape.

Expect moving image and sound works influenced by elemental forces and geopolitical pressures. Sculptures informed by walking, place, and time. Photography that unearths sites of labour, process and change. Art that unpicks the social, ecological and emotional textures of place. Work that challenges, responds to, and reimagines the world around us. A place where coastlines, soundscapes, installations, ideas, and speculative environments collide.

The Artists:
Liam Collins · Tom Mortlock-Jackson · Zoe Forster · Natalie Sharp · Cj Pitcher · David Haley & Laurence Campbell · Debbie Yare · Ellie Hoskins · Giles W Bennett · Jennifer McMillan · Johannes Pretorius · Liam Collins · Mel Galley & Núria Rovira Terradas
