BLANKSPACE, Manchester
West will be showing three new, site-specific works at BLANKSPACE gallery, opening to the public on 6 July. The work embodies her ongoing research and interest in colour theory, light and the physical construction of real and illusory space. “I am interested in the methodologies within order and collections found in the home environment, museums, shops and in library archives. Everyone has their own personal formula for classification and arrangement of these objects”.

Upcoming Event: Inside [BLANKSPACE]
Friday 30 March - Sunday 29 April 2012
BLANKSPACE, Manchester
Within the insular and atmospheric setting of BLANKSPACE gallery, Inside explores the psychological connections we form with our environment, placing the participant within a collection of works that disturb, envelop, and engage. All the works featured in this exhibition are united by themes of absence, loss, memory, fantasy and nostalgia, sparking the imagination and placing the participant both physically and mentally within the viewing space.

Upcoming Event: [Recommends] Eight | BLANKSPACE External Exhibition
24 February - 11 March 2012
BLANKSPACE, 43 Hulme Street, Manchester, M15 6AW
The exhibition eight showcases the work of a group of eight contemporary artists with different backgrounds and styles. Two years where each artist has been working on individual art pieces within a communal studio space has come to an end. Swapping ideas, conversations and techniques daily has allowed the artists to share inspirations and this research and sense of play is now culminating in this final group show. Eight will reveal to the public a range of contrasting styles and mediums enabling the transition of eight fellow students into eight emerging and individual artists. A journey that started together will end together.

Upcoming Event: [Recommends] Child’s Play (NOI)
Friday 30 September 2011, 6pm - Thursday 6 October 2011
Piccadilly Place, Manchester
Based in Manchester, England. No Offence Intended is a collective of conceptually led artists. NOI formed earlier in 2011 as a reaction to the current critical debate of contemporary art within the economic climate. The artists aim to explore the notion of the gallery space aesthetic, to question and present a ‘concept’ to a wider audience. The decision to initiate one core idea and to develop individual interpretations is the strength of the exhibition.

blankpages Issue 38
Thursday 1st Sep 2011
Welcome to Issue 38, our September edition of blankpages: Blank Media Collective's very own concoction of music, art and literature... and it's time for your monthly dose of all things arty, dears, so open wide: here comes the good stuff.
Get your folk on with All We Are's exclusive interview and brand new MP3; and catch a first glimpse at Blank Media Collective's No.1: Paint exhibition artwork (launching at BLANKSPACE on 8 September), featuring this month's cover artist, Cara Campbell.
We broke the news to you in our last edition that Kevin Bradshaw, our fiction editor, is leaving – read his fantastic parting gift to us in this month's fiction. We've also got brand new poetry from Amy-Rose Derbyshire; hand selected from our very own Blank Media Collective portfolios.
If you've not heard her name before (where have you been?), we'd also like to introduce you to Tamsin Drury, director of hAb Arts, in this month's feature. Read all about her work with the approaching emergency Accommodation festival here.
As always, you can find out how to spend the rest of your month in our Recommends section. Other than reading blankpages, of course.
Enjoy!
