Speech Acts : Reflection-Imagination-Repetition

1 Jan 2000-22 Apr 2019

Manchester Art Gallery
Manchester M2 3JL

Overview

What stories emerge to frame the visitor’s encounters with the art that they see, and cloak the art that they don’t? How do these stories change over time? Through the work of more than 40 artists, Speech Acts: Reflection-Imagination- Repetition considers how public museums reflect and shape our collective imagination, and examines how exhibitions can affect these shared narratives.
