Holly Rowan Hesson - Echo

Echo is a new site-specific installation by Holly Rowan Hesson commissioned by Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival. The projection and sculptural work creates dialogues with materials, memory and the physical space. The installation explores uncertainty, transience and the gap between, and interplay within, purely sensory feeling and experience and more literal, rational thought-based experience and memory. Holly will continue to develop the installation with new work being added to the space mid-way through the exhibition.

Ellen Sampson - Worn

Ellen Sampson, an artist who explores the relationships between bodily experience, memory and artefacts, will be using film, photography and installation for Worn: footwear, attachment and affective experience. This exhibition explores our relationship with and attachment to shoes. Focusing on the shoe as an everyday object, it explores the ways the worn shoe may act upon us, examining how garments and people may become entwined. It suggests that our particular attachment to footwear is located in our intimate and tactile relationship to it; that attachment is created through touch and wear.

Warrington Art Treasures 2017-18

This is the first of three special exhibitions celebrating important events in the history of Warrington Museum, especially the opening of the main art gallery in October 1877. From its creation in 1848, Warrington Museum has amassed significant collections including works by prominent local Victorian artists who acquired a national reputation as regular exhibitors at the Royal Academy (RA). Some of the best treasures will be showcased in a series of exhibitions marking a joint celebration of the RA's 250th anniversary and landmarks in the creation of the oldest public museum in the North West of England, which was also home to the Warrington School of Art from 1857.

The School of Art

Continuing our series of exhibitions celebrating special events in the history of Warrington Museum, this exhibition celebrates Warrington's School of Art which was originally housed in the museum from the building's opening in 1857. Originally run by the Mechanics Institute to provide education that would allow young artists to find employment in industry, the school flourished to become one of the finest in the country, with its students achieving more scholarships than most other art schools of the time. As well as watercolours and other media from graduates of the School of Art, examples of other artists' work from the museum's collection are featured.
