Martin Hall Exhibition Space

Join us for an exclusive first look at our new exhibition. ‘I’m holding on for dear life’ builds narratives that conjure up meaning out of our broken relationship with the world through a series of audio, literary and visual artworks. These narratives use consciousness, lived experience and our emotional intuition to notice something is amiss.Exhibition: 22 March - 26 March 2022: 12pm-2pm: Tuesday-Saturday.Hannah Sarah Day is a transdisciplinary artist who exhibits multimodal conceptual puzzles, creating open narratives through fragmentary configurations. These narratives draw attention to the parent/child relationships and their transference into intimate adult relations.Samuel Thompson-Plant is a Leicester born multimodal visual artist, who’s work unpicks new perspectives on lived experience. His work expresses a seeking of ‘heightened reality’, calling for shifts in how we emotionally identify with the present moment. Our ProgrammeArtist Talk: ‘Practices of Care’ Tuesday 22 March: 1pm - 2pmGuest artist Sheila Ghelani is invited to share with us her holistic approach to art-making from the checklist of care.Workshop: ‘At This Moment in Time’ Tuesday 22 March: 5pm - 6:30pmOur performance workshop is a free inclusive workshop exploring time, movement and noting the present moment.Artist Talk: 'Graduate Artist Seminar' Wednesday 23 March: 5:30pm - 6:30pm Our seminar is directed towards undergraduate students wishing to gain insight into the perspective of the emerging artist's first steps.About the 'Graduate Artist Exhibition' ‘The Graduate Artist Exhibition’ consists of four contemporary visual art exhibitions alongside a programme of creative workshops, talks, performances and readings. The four exhibitions will feature ambitious new artworks in response to the time spent on the graduate artist programme at Loughborough University, collating a multitude of practices, perspectives and voices. In doing so, the program addresses the idea of ‘emergence’, to ‘come into existence’ after incubation, and what it means to be an artist emerging from the comfort of an institution. Stepping over a threshold, onto the next lily pad, the next stepping stone, finding one's feet, solidifying, grounding, staying put but moving on, standing strong but staying fluid.Images: Top: 'Your Hands, My Will', 2021 Silver Gelatin Print on Fiber Based Paper, Hannah Sarah Day.
