2024 Exhibitions

In 2024, we hosted a joint exhibition from Babak Ganjei and Joshua Clague, followed by another duel show with Michelle Williams Gamaker with Dahong Hongxuan Wang showing alongside. During the summer we hosted an interactive exhibition from Merseyside artists Roxy Topia, Paddy Gould and Cormac Gould, and to end the year, we hosted a reflective group exhibition.

This exhibition, part of the Bluecoat's season 'The Lives of Artists', looked back at Ganjei's creative life, featuring staged sets from his living room and more.

Joshua Clague: and it feels like I just got home

Clague’s exhibition echoed the enduring memories of the female voice in his life, featuring pop-icons he once emulated, exploring how sense of self changes at different times, in different places.

Michelle Williams Gamaker: Our Mountains Are Painted on Glass

This exhibition showcased the artists love for cinema and storytelling, and reimagined marginalised characters, blending classic and contemporary filmmaking.
