To coincide with their 2 person exhibition at Castlefield Gallery we are pleased to host a panel discussion between Hayley Newman and Emily Speed chaired by independent curator Bridget Crone/ Plenty Projects.

PLENTY PROJECTS is the organisational structure of Bridget Crone – a curator with 15 years experience working in the UK, Australia and internationally, Crones's practice is typified by the commissioning of new work from artists working in an expanded way across performance, film and video, and sound – examples of which include the 2008 commissioning and production of Brutalist Premolition by Gail Pickering which was shown at the ICA, London and Arnolfini, Bristol. Bridget’s ongoing interest in staging and the theatrical has been explored through two programmes – The Sensible Stage (2007-8, various venues including the Whitechapel Gallery, London; Holburne Museum, Bath) and A Theatre to Address (2010, Arnolfini, Bristol).

Bridget currently convenes the monthly experimental film and discussion programme, The Film Exercise, at the Arnolfini, Bristol.
