Landscapes
Vancouver-based artist Jeff Wall has selected a group of his atmospheric photographic light boxes to be shown in the context of Manchester Art Gallery's collection of landscape paintings, particularly its Dutch landscapes. The works include broad panoramas and more intimate works. Each is a meditation on the changes of use of the land and how this is represented through the making of pictures.
The exhibition is curated by Lynda Morris and organised by Norwich School of Art and Design. It is funded by the Canadian High Commission and the Arts Council of England, through the National Touring Programme.
There will be an accompanying fully illustrated catalogue, which includes an interview with the artist by Lynda Morris

Dalziel + Scullion
Home is an exhibition of work by Scottish artists Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion. It features a substantial body of new work including video projections, large-scale sculptural pieces and photographs.
At the heart of Dalziel and Scullion's work is a fascination with time-scales and the vast gap which exists between the imaginable limit of the human life-span and the incomprehensible time-span of geological processes. Much of their past work is centred on the north east of Scotland, but many of the new pieces are set against the backdrop of the magnificent glacial landscape of Scandinavia.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Manchester Art Gallery, the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh and Milton Keynes Gallery. It is supported by the Henry Moore Foundation and the Arts Council of England, through the National Touring Programme.
