Tuesday Talk: Frederik Vergaert

11am—12.30pm

Frederik Vergaert is an artist and the artistic director of Lokaal 01 in Antwerp and Breda since 2003.  Lokaal 01 offers fourto five week residencies for emerging artists, critics and curators. Participants are invited, or selected from a proposal, and have the use of the space and facilities for the duration of their residency, which culminates in a three day public presentation.  Vergaert has made more than 80 exhibitions in and outside the buildings of Lokaal 01 and worked together with over 250 artists. He is also involved in several experimental 'off projects' in collaboration with artists and runs the new residency-program of the Middelheimmuseum. For more information visit www.lokaal01.org.

Free, no booking necessary.

The Tuesday Talks series are a collaboration between the Whitworth Art Gallery and Manchester Metropolitan University, and as the Whitworth transforms into a 21st century gallery in the park, the talks will be held at MMU. The Tuesday Talks invites leading artists, thinkers and curators to explore the driving forces, influences and sources of inspiration within contemporary art and is programmed by Professor Pavel Büchler and Bryony Bond.
