Brief: ‘In Case You Missed It’


I was comissioned to design a poster and catalogue for an exhibition held at the modernist’s Manchester-based bookshop and gallery space.  



The exhibition responds to the closure and imminent demolition of Manchester's much loved modernist campus - UMIST.

Conceived by Gemma Parker - featuring twenty-six artists:

Anna Novitzky, Benjamin Carter, Bill Ayres, Christine A Lawley, DR.ME, Freya Thomson, Helen Angell, Huren Marsh, Jen Orpin, John Rooney, Liam Spencer, Lisa Robinson, Lucie Holzer, Mandy Payne, Michael Garaway, Nick Jordan, Peter Hatton, Tea, Peter James Houghton, Plyconic, Richard Aldred, Sarah Hardacre, Second Breakfast Club, Shirley Hampton, Simon Phipps, Spaceplay, Tony Bolton.
