Transmissions

Artists of the Material Matters Collective will return to Liverpool's Bridewell Gallery in autumn 2026 with TRANSMISSIONS - the next major collaboration since their critically-acclaimed residency Into the Wyld at the Williamson Art Gallery in 2024. About TRANSMISSIONS will be an exploration of correspondences between the animate, inanimate and the metaphysical. Across four interconnected exhibitions, each artist of Material Materials will use the historic fabric of the Bridewell complex to create new and challenging experiential contemporary art environments to invoke dialogue with the spaces and those who inhabit it - past, present and future. TRANSMISSIONS is conceived as an anthology of experimental art in four cantos: 03 Oct - 11 Oct Silvia Battista will exhibit DEEP TIME 16 Oct - 25 Oct John Elcock will exhibit PNEUMA 30 Oct - 08 Nov Angelo Madonna will exhibit PASSAGES 13 Nov - 22 Nov Patric Rogers will exhibit VESSELS The programme will include gallery tours by Material Matters artists, an exhibition bookshop selling new titles published by the collective, plus signed artists' editions. A reading area will also be available. At the close of the exhibition a Long Table discussion event with the artists will occur, check out socials for booking details nearer the time.
