Jade Montserrat: Instituting Care
The Bluecoat in Liverpool presents a solo exhibition by Scarborough based artist Jade Montserrat, North Yorkshire. As part of Bluecoat’s wider season which asks ‘who gets to be an artist?’, Montserrat opens these questions out further with events and workshops in the gallery space.
These events include a reading group by artist Jack Tan, a radical mycology gathering led by Jane Lawson and life-drawing with artist and model Paul Kindersley.
You can find the opening times for the gallery and general building on their visitor information page.

Facing Out
Facing Out is a portrait exhibition of people who have experienced facial cancers, alongside their choice of artworks from the Whitworth collections. The portraits have been created in public by Lucy Burscough during her residency at Maggie’s Cancer Support Centre at The Christie Hospital. Centre visitors were welcome to chat to Lucy about her work as they watched the paintings develop.
It’s a wonderful example of art in the community running at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester from 22 Feb – 2 Jun 2019. Opening times can be found on their visitor information page on their website.
Wake Up Together
You’ll find free entry into this moving exhibition at Open Eye Gallery on Liverpool’s waterfront. From an excerpt on their website, Ren Hang’s UK premiere is detailed as follows:
“As well as practising photography, Ren wrote poetry that sought to express the depression he felt, whilst also locating fleeting snapshots of same-sex intimacy. The exhibition title, Wake Up Together, is an excerpt from the body of work he produced throughout his lifetime. He took his own life in February 2017.”
Closing on 17 February, this is a must see. Open Tue – Sun, 10am – 5pm. The exhibition of Ren Hang’s work has been organised with Stieglitz19, Belgium.
Now – 17 Feb, Open Eye Gallery, 19 Mann Island, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 1BP
