Artist- Anthea Bush

Anthea is based in Amsterdam. Her vision of the motorcyclist is going to be an exciting re-telling as her formally static sculptures will take on human form as performers navigate the Panoply platform like feathered storm-troopers.

Artist- Estelle Woolley

Estelle creates delicate sculpture from ephemeral natural, organic elements. We are very excited about the outcome of an artist who creates in this scale working with the Panoply team. We hope to bring out the theatrical nature of her pieces whether they are worn or discovered as the audience traverse the space.

Artist- Esther Arocha

Esther is a Spanish artist based in Tenerife. Her photographic compositions draw a line between character and landscape.
We are confident that the distance between Tenerife and Manchester will not inhibit Esther in creating work that belongs entirely in Panoply.

Artist- Edward Wiffen

Edward Wiffen is a performance and sculpture artist. Most of his work is based in totemic symbolism and religious dogma. Through these shamanic performances and animalistic sculptures is a costume drama set around masculinity.
In Panoply 2010 Edward opted out of a live performance and instead displayed his work as a video piece, this piece was derived from an ongoing project with Tenerife based artist Esther Arocha. (Esther will be exhibiting in Panoply 2011)

Artist- Rachel Maclean

Rachel was invited to Manchester to try and convert her unique direction of video to a live platform.
We helped find 'willing' volunteers for Rachel to dress in her costumes she had devised around her own body and had previously only herself ever worn in-front of a green-screen in her studio.





Rachel's work really helped bring an entire lift of colour and energy the evenings performances. For many it was their first exposure to her video work.
Rachel will be showcasing her latest video pieces at Panoply 2011.

The Space March 2011

These Images are the Location for Panoply 2011
There are two spaces next to each other which we are able to use either and both.

Artist- Sally Gilford

Sally Gilford is a performance artist who works and molds the human body to create her work. For Panoply Sally created a piece in which she stitched three models together by starting with a single weft machine stitched into their hair. The piece is like a dance with the artist weaving in and around the models bodies slowly and elegantly tying them up, invading personal space and forcing body parts to touch.
Sally is also a founder of the manchester based collective One69a.
