Grayson Perry : Visual Dialogues

1 Feb 2011-12 Feb 2012

Manchester Art Gallery
Manchester M2 3JL

Overview

This display features the gallery's two recently purchased artworks by Grayson Perry: a large ceramic vase Jane Austen in E17 and one of his first major etchings, Print for a Politician. Co-curated by The Creative Consultants, a group of young people aged 15-18, and artist Jim Medway, the display uses film, text and unusual objects to make links between these exciting contemporary artworks and rarely seen examples of historic costume, prints and ceramics from our collections.
