Runs: 05.11.2009 to 17.12.2009
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION 02/10/2009.
CUBE (Centre for the Urban Built Environment) is proud to be hosting its third open submission exhibition from the 5th November to the 17th December 2009. Each year a selection panel from the fields of Architecture and Art are invited to shortlist engaging projects from entrants to the OPEN.
This year’s selection panel includes Leo Fitzmaurice, Sans Facon, CUBE creative director, Jane Anderson and last year’s CUBE Open winner, artist Andrea Booker.
Leo Fitzmaurice’s work is focused on the physical manifestations of information within our environment. He reworks advertising, packaging, signage and print to reveal surprising aspects of their material. Fitzmaurice has exhibited across Europe and here in Manchester at Castlefield Gallery.
Sans Facon began as an investigation between architect Charles Blanc and artist Tristian Surtees, resulting in the undertaking of diverse collaborative art projects, exploring the relationship between people and place.
The judging panel has the difficult task of selecting exhibitors from a diverse range of work themed around the urban built environment. Last year, the exhibition featured works chosen from over 125 applicants and received a five star review from Aaron Lavery for the METRO.
We expect this year’s exhibition to be just as fascinating. This is an opportunity for artists and architects to explore exciting relationships with their contemporary surroundings.
Selected entrants are exhibited in the gallery and three prize winners will be chosen. The overall winner is offered a residency placement at CUBE.
Deadline for submission: 02/10/2009.
Please send images of your work with dimensions and a brief statement of how you feel your practice relates to the urban built environment to CUBEOpen, CUBE 113-115 Portland Street, Manchester, M16 DW.
The overall winner will have the opportunity to be resident at CUBE gallery for a two month period and receive £1000 Bursary. Two runners up will receive £250 each.
To apply please send a CD Rom with selection of work (no more than six images) please ensure that it is a standard package such as powerpoint, or standard image films such as jpegs. If we cannot open your files your application will not be accepted. Please do not send originals.
For video submissions please send a DVD accessible by menu. Please do not send exhibition versions, which cannot be navigated.
A £15 submission fee is required for each application. Please send cheques or postal orders payable to the University of Salford.

- City as Gymnasium
Runs: 10.07.2009 to 03.10.2009
CUBE celebrates its 11th year by continuing to showcase cutting edge projects that explore the Urban Built Environment. Building on our well established reputation fusing together architecture, contemporary art and design.
Curated by CUBE the project aims to showcase 'alternative' ways the city can be used as a gymnasium. 5 International artists explore this theme in a playful and performative way.
Artists:
Lottie Child
Often inviting individuals to collaborate with her research, devising participatory, live-art explorations of public space, Child is interested in the way in which we behave. How we negotiate the urban landscape and how we use our instinctive behaviours while we make and refrain from spontaneous urban interventions. Recent projects include those exhibited at Tate Britain and South London Gallery.
Peter Liversidge
Peter Liversidge creates work in a diverse range of media, including drawing, performance, installation, photography, painting, sculpture, artist's books and multiples such as The Perfect Match.
While his work has an assured lightness of touch and a quiet poeticism, there is also an underlying streak of dark, absurdist humour. Liversidge often approaches everyday objects with a sideways glance; exploring the bounds of our imagination and the gulf between expectation and reality; appropriating and transforming quotidian objects through the most minimal of gestures.
Tsui Kuang-Yu
Kuang-Yu works mostly in video and installation, using the body as an active medium in order to create meaning and action. His short films show him producing small, repetitive and seemingly senseless acts, in order to investigate the body’s relationship to the environment. Tsui represented Taiwan at the 2005 Venice Biennale.
Neville Gabie
Neville’s work consists of various forms from sculpture to film and photography. He is focused on responding to locations which are in a state of social or physical flux. Such projects are usually developed over sustained periods of involvement with the sites and other creative professionals. Neville has widely exhibited around the world, including Tate Modern, London. His most recent projects include artist in residence, Broadmead redevelopment, Bristol.
MediaShed (David Valentine)
Valentine is a film maker who experiments with new technologies. ‘The Duellists’ is filmed using only the CCTV network of 160 cameras in the Manchester Arndale shopping centre, where two males are caught battling each other within the deserted building. Originally made for the Futuresonic Festival, 2007 the film has become one of the best known CCTV movies ever made and won the audience third prize at the Sidewalk Cinema Festival.
'Standing the City on its Head' Pre-Education Workshops
The City As Gymnasium exhibition will form the basis of the projects in which young people will learn creatively about the urban environment. The workshops will respond to the way young people navigate around the city by adapting the urban environment around them, in different ways than those intended by designers and street planners.
These workshops will appeal to all 11-14 year olds who have as wider interests as possible ranging from astronomy through sport on to zoology and the zodiac!
The workshops will be based at CUBE in Manchester during September 2009 and they will be organised with the schools on weekdays or Saturdays to fit in with the school timetable and student availability. There is no charge for the workshops.
The workshops will be lead by artist Catherine Clements and architect John Bishop and are the schools contact in matters relating to the planning and delivery of the workshop.
We ask that schools confirm their wish to be involved in the project by email to jpbplace@yahoo.com before Tuesday 30th June.

Runs: 10.07.2009 to 03.10.2009
2009 marks the 175th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). To celebrate this milestone and the remarkable buildings which have resulted from architectural competitions the CUBE Gallery in Manchester is exhibiting 175 images of RIBA competition winning projects.
The RIBA organises and runs competitions to encourage excellence in design. It does so for a wide range of clients – both public and private – which have resulted in a variety of landmark projects and iconic structures. These range from major public projects such as London’s Millennium Bridge, The Sage Gateshead, Baltic and Wembley Stadium to the Urban Splash Tutti Frutti housing project and smaller structures, such as the De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill on Sea and the Swivelling Wind Shelter in Blackpool.
The RIBA Competitions Office, established in Leeds over 25 years ago, holds a photographic archive of past projects from which images for the exhibition will be drawn.
Speaking about the exhibition, Louise Harrison, RIBA Competitions Manager, said “We have a fantastic archive of amazing images and have grasped this opportunity to share them. We have tried to capture the spirit of what competitions are all about and hope visitors enjoy our eclectic collection.”
