21st Century Sleepwalk, a large-scale installation of new work by Emma Talbot across all three exhibition spaces and exterior at Caustic Coastal, presents thoughts on the epic nature of birth and death and the living sleepwalk in between.

In a wall of painted silk hangings occupying the length of the warehouse space, Talbot narrates the contemporary situation of a citizen in the 21st century and their psychological responses to the space of a regenerated city. This visual flow of thought is a reflection on life as a dreamlike experience, counterbalanced by three-dimensional works that position birth and death as fundamental physical experiences that we can’t ever remember.

In partnership with Salford Lads Club we’ll present an extension to the exhibition and afters venue for drinks. Please join us for both and support an amazing local institution for young people in the area.

The exhibition extension at SLC will only be open Thur/Sat 25th/27th & 3rd.
