BREAST PRINT (mine not yours) / TINFOIL NO.2
Josephine Flynn re-evaluates and develops one of her renowned multi-disciplinary satirical works for A Modest Show, to examine how the viewer can ‘activate’ the work.

Ghostlines: Mads Floor Anderson & Cara Davies
We all make tracks - navigating our lives via trails and desire-lines, creating familiar routes as counter to life’s uncertainties. Artists Mads Floor Andersen and Cara Davies are hosted by PINK in a week-long residency, unpicking the complex meshwork created by our daily comings and goings, travel, memory, and the ghosts of the past.

Soft Things
A newly commissioned set of twin ultra-short films by Sarah Boulter, with a sound piece by Manchester based Musician Merida Richards. Video works that centre on gorging for escapism, consumerism and the escapism that has sprouted from pandemic obsession and limitations, as we pour ourselves into repetitive entertainment.

Deviant Diners
‘Deviant Diners’ is a newly commissioned video work that sets the table for bad manners, caters to the neuroqueer gaze, and serves an insight into autistic experiences of food. This work addresses the stigma autistic people face at the dinner table. This stigma, combined with sensory processing issues, can lead autistic people into withdrawing from social situations involving food and even develop avoidant, restrictive or disordered relationships with food.

SUPERPOSITION REMOVALS & FUNCTIONS
A sculptural intervention bringing together the works of two artists in a fictional art installation and general odd job company. A dual perspective of artist and art technician, a position where lines are often blurred between production and creation.
