— ‘Double Image’—
The ‘Double Image’ artists in Double Exposures are collaborating with Manuel for the first time. They are being selected by Manuel following recommendations from UK based artists and promoters. The ‘Reversing the Gaze’ artists, who have previously collaborated with Manuel on Exposures, were each invited to propose five artists from a younger generation who had caught their attention over the last few years. Additionally, members of Live Art UK were each invited to recommend up to three artists who they felt were amongst the most significant to have emerged over the last decade.
The final selection has nearly been finalised and is comprised of practitioners from across generations, who had not collaborated with Manuel in the past and whose work centres on the body as the site and subject of their practice.
