Until Sunday 4 December

It's the last chance to see Sharon Hayes' powerful exhibition, which closes on Sunday.

Drawing on queer and feminist archives in the US and the UK to focus on gay liberation, women’s liberation and the political groups that preceded lesbian and transgender liberation, Sharon Hayes' exhibition examines the ways in which political discourse is formed and political identities constructed through individual acts of writing and reading.

'In My Little Corner of the World, Anyone Would Love You' is co-commissioned by The Common Guild and Studio Voltaire, London. For more details about the exhibition please visit our website.

Read Adam Benmakhlouf's review of the exhibition in The Skinny here.

Thursday 5 January, 12–7pm

Kick off the New Year with 'Room for Reading' - an opportunity to make use of our unique library. Designed by artist Andrew Miller and filled with an expansive collection of art books and periodicals, the library is available for reference and research from lunchtime until late, with tea and coffee provided.

Books are suggested every month in conjunction with our exhibitions and projects. In January we will be focusing on a selection of publications chosen by Maria Fusco.

Drop in, no booking necessary. For more details, and a list of the publications selected by Maria, please visit our website.

"I am for adjectives like beezer, dreich, quare, and nouns like clart, drouth, gleed, mizzle, oxters, scoot-hole, smoor, and verbs like boke, fissle, greet, hunker, swither, and adverbs like furnenst."

'Radical Dialect' is a new project conceived by writer Maria Fusco considering the critical uses of vernacular forms of speaking and writing. The project explores the occurrences and potential uses of dialect words, syntax and language within the field of contemporary art and question traditional orthodoxies of creative and critical writing within contemporary art.

Fusco writes “I am for non-standard English language as a legitimate and enriching form of critical and creative writing which does not take modalities of criticality as given, rather it tends to, and experiments with non-division between practice and theory, criticism and creativity."

The project will include a cycle of events, a series of commissioned publications and a major new performance, all taking shape across 2017 and 2018, the first of which is the event below.

Wednesday 18 January 2017, 6pm

The first event in the series is a public reading and discussion by cult Canadian poet Lisa Robertson, who will discuss the construction of vernacular voice amidst the abolishment of a lyric culture: "I think the voice is the great Baroque pearl of this catastrophe that is the political human dump."

Places are free but limited. Please book via Eventbrite.
