'Apart From’
Opening Night: 7-9pm Friday 25th March
Exhibition Continues: 12-4pm Saturdays + Sundays until 3rd March
Bankley Studios + Gallery introduces its first exhibition of the year, which is the winning proposal selected from Manchester School of Art final year fine art students!
The winning proposal is ‘Apart From’ produced by Gypsophila Collective which presents a collection of works by five multi-disciplinary artists: Anna Clough, Grace Duncan, Maria Jackson, Yvonne Mullaney and Nicole Sheppard.
‘The exhibition explores the synonymous relationship between humanity and the natural world. As a collection of artists, we are concerned with the fragile, fluctuating relationship we have with our surrounding environment that exists on the ever-ambiguous border of the natural and man-made. It is at this intersection that we aim to metaphysically investigate our intertwined and inseparable relationship to the land’.
Access Information
Bankley Gallery is situated on the first floor of an old mill building, which unfortunately is currently only accessible by stairs. The studios are located on the first, second and third floors and are also only accessible by stairs.
The building is located just off the main road, with regular bus services from Manchester and Stockport, and is around 450m from Levenshulme train station. The station has no lift and both platforms are only accessible by stairs.

THE GREEN RAY: Ruth Murray
Started: 22nd Oct 2021 | Ended: 14th Nov 2021
Bankley Studios + Gallery presents a solo exhibition by former Bankley Artist + Jackson’s painting prize 2020 winner Ruth Murray!
THE GREEN RAY
Opening Night: 7-9pm Friday 22nd October
Exhibition Continues
12-4pm Saturdays + Sundays until 14th November
Free Entry - no booking necessary
‘If you look west over the ocean at sunset and are blessed with exceptional fortune—the conditions in the atmosphere must be just right—you will witness a green ray shoot up in the distant sky from the vanishing tip of the Sun.
In the 1882 romantic novel Le Rayon-Vert by Jules Verne, the green ray is a mystical blessing left by the departing sun; it symbolises the reclaiming of happiness in the face of imminent disaster.
Central to this exhibition is a chromatic series of women in domestic interiors. There are several references to famous male painters but the mood is distorted, tense and uncertain. The subjects’ private thoughts are not as easily interpreted, the tropes of bourgeois comfort less reassuring. They also now have an additional resonance, when we’ve all spent longer contemplating the physical contours of home.’

Beyond the Parameters of Officialdom: Alistair Woods
Started: 20th Aug 2021 | Ended: 5th Sep 2021
Bankley Studios + Gallery presents Beyond the Parameters of Officialdom, a solo show from Bankley Open 2019 winner Alistair Woods.
The exhibition introduces a collection of new works that reflect on working class aspirations, with particular reference to football casuals and fan culture.
'The desire to collect logos stems from working class men and women seeking an identity and forming representations of that based on the use and appropriation of logos and recognisable characters. This is partly due to the lack of ability, money and time to create something original. Examples of this can be seen on football pin badges and merchandise sold by vendors on match days or homemade signs advertising burger vans.
The idea of bootlegs, counterfeits and fakes recurs throughout the show, both in the paintings and the other works, and this features within compositions found in the street like over-painted graffiti or marks made in pub toilets. The works are also abstractly anecdotal, and portray the essence of functional and charming everyday marks such as pins and staples left on community notice boards, or poorly painted numbers on a wheelie bin.
The paintings are created using some traditional materials, but also adopt alternative ways to create marks such as using smoke canisters, lighter burns, and layers of applying, removing and covering spray paint and leather dye.'

Teresa Wilson
Started: 21st Jun 2021 | Ended: 11th Jul 2021
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-archaeology-of-the-human-mind-mental-health-and-art-tickets-158423824925
Multi-Award Winning Laura I. Art Gallery invites you to Mental Health, Art and Maternity, an online event preview exploring ideas connected with Teresa Wilson’s online exhibition Unknowable: the Archaeology of the Human Mind
The event will introduce Teresa Wilson’s sculpture and installation and you will meet the artist and hear her talk about her art practice, background and influences.
“ My work is concerned with a kind of ‘uncanny maternal’ - a concept which can be described as a strange, anxious feeling created by a fear within the domestic environment - causing familiar objects, children and family to appear changed and unfamiliar”. Teresa Wilson
The evening will focus on the aspect of her work which looks at the ideas of maternity and mental health within her practice and in the wider context of art. Maternity is a central theme for artists and mental health is inextricably tied up with this - in issues of isolation, loneliness, the fear of looking after children and the fear of not being able to have children.
Not only for those who identify as women - the discussion concerns all of us and everyone is welcome to join in.
Joining the conversation and a special guest for the evening will be Mental Health and Arts Activist Helen Sargeant. Helen is an Artist, Mother, Academic and Creative Director of Maternal Art & MAM.
During the evening you will be invited to ask questions to Teresa and Helen, if you wish to do so.
There will also be a 10% discount for anyone attending the preview evening who is also interested in buying artworks by Teresa Wilson.
In addition to the preview event, you are also invited to a one- to- one Zoom tour where you will be able to see all the artworks in closer detail. These tours are available from 25 June to 11 July, bookable on Eventbrite.
Tickets:
VIP One to One Experience of the exhibition
Physical visits to the exhibition can also be booked on Eventbrite for £15. This will include: -
- A one-to-one tour of the show at Bankley Gallery (Bankley Street, Manchester, M19 3PP) with the artist.
- Wine (or tea/fruit juice)
- The opportunity to experience the art in the dark with a torch and spend time alone within The Yellow Room – an uncanny, immersive, room sized art installation.
Exclusive Collector Tour via Zoom
In addition to the preview event, collectors are invited to a free one- to- one Zoom tour where you will be able to see all the artworks in closer detail. These tours are available from 25 June to 11 July, bookable on Eventbrite.

The Artist's Dream: The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Started: 22nd Oct 2020 | Ended: 31st Oct 2020
The Artist's Dream: The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Teresa Wilson and Julie Howse
The exhibition runs from Thursday 22 October to Saturday 31 October 2020
Opening times: Monday to Friday: 4 to 6 pm / Saturdays: 2 to 4 pm / Sunday: Closed
Step into the turbulent mind of the artist with this imaginative sculpture puppet installation. The uncanny work crosses over the space between art and theatre, taking as its starting point the recurring theme of the artist's nightmarish dream in the work of 18/19th century artists of the Romantic Movement, such as Goya, Henry Fuseli and John Anster Fitzgerald.
A word of warning: this art installation contains demons and other supernatural manifestations. Look behind you as you leave – something may try to follow you!
Teresa Wilson explores the uncanny through her sculptural and installation practice; shortlisted for the Neo Art Prize 2019. Julie House is an artist who uses both drawing and textile sculpture to create an alternative world of imaginative creatures; she has a background in theatre/art in education.
Advance booking is required for visitors to the exhibition. Tickets are FREE from Eventbrite:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-artists-dream-the-sleep-of-reason-produces-monsters-art-installation-tickets-119999841757
Strict social distancing rules will be in place with one visitor (or household) for each 15 minute slot. Hand sanitizer will be available upon entrance and we ask that unless unable for medical reasons you wear a mask whilst in the building and gallery.
Please do not touch the exhibits. For more info contact teresawilsonart@gmail.com

Art History in 12 Easy Steps - Axel Bottenberg
Started: 26th Jun 2020 | Ended: 25th Jul 2020
Bankley Gallery will open its doors to the public from 26th June and we're kicking off with Axel Bottenberg's solo show Art History in 12 Easy Steps.
The exhibition focuses on art history, an integral component of the work by Axel Bottenberg. Referencing “Art Afterpieces” by Ward Kimball, and working as an art teacher in various failing schools around Manchester, the treatment of art history in Axel’s practice heroically attempts to have a serious element, but the irreverence inevitably bubbles up to the surface. He loves art history and it plays an important role in his practice.
The show features a selection of paintings and small scale 3-D work covering the period from antiquity to 20th century art.
With the safety of visitors and Bankley members being our main priority we are having to control visitor numbers and are allowing a maximum of four visitors to be in the gallery at one time. We have put a booking system for the PV in place and suggest that you book your visit in advance to avoid having to queue or worse still not being able to gain access at all.
To attend the PV please book here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/art-history-in-12-easy-lessons-by-axel-bottenberg-tickets-110016448158.
We suggest that you wear a face mask if possible and if you have any symptoms, please stay at home and keep others safe. It is also worth noting that there is currently no public access to toilet facilities at Bankley.
The exhibition will also open Sat 27th & Sun 28th 1200-1600 max number of 4 guests in gallery at a time. Other times by arrangement only. Please contact Axel via the Facebook Event page to arrange a visit outside of those times.
