Brief 1 : Yoke : Leeds-List Article

From working with the Corn Exchange, we got contacted from the people that organise the lettings for the Corn Exchange. They contacted us to ask us if we would be happy for Leeds-list to write a review on the exhibition and it would be previewed on the website.

We were really happy with this as it would get us some exposure and hopefully get the word out further about the exhibition, opening it up to even more people that what we knew. In terms of the article, we were asked to provide some images and the rest would be done by them, so we were a little out of control of it. When the article was released on the website, the review was great, it reads really well and puts across the whole concept behind the exhibition in a great way. We were really pleased with the result of it and hopefully it will get us some more attention.

Preview: Dialogue at the Corn Exchange

Creative duo Yoke will be exhibiting boundary-pushing art in the Corn Exchange at the end of the month, with Dialogue.

Yoke, made up of designer duo Eve Warren and Nathan Bolton, will be hosting the pop-up exhibition from Thursday 27th March to Thursday 3rd April 2014, with a private viewing the night before. Amongst the traditional exhibitions in Leeds, this showcase will feature fully interactive pieces of visual art, all focused on the theme of dialogue.

Graphic designers in their own right, Yoke requested submissions from artists across the globe, with the only caveat being that the pieces could be manipulated by other artists and vice versa. Given that Dialogue is about communication and conversation the selected works will be paired up in a blind collaboration between artists, culminating in new creations based on the labours of the two.

















The works for the exhibition are all A3 sized screen prints so that the artists can merge the two pieces together in an almost organic process. The artists will not be able to choose their creative partner, in order to create work that would not normally be made. They will then be showcased in a unit of Leeds Corn Exchange for the week.

The Corn Exchange isn’t exactly known for its art exhibitions but that shouldn’t hinder the popularity of this non-for-profit event. With works being sold and money going directly into the maintenance and upkeep of Dialogue, you’ve got even more reason to treat yourself.

The art itself will be coming from far and wide, with submissions from Hamburg and beyond as well as many entries from local artists. The showcase is another great example of the varied art exhibitions in Leeds, so make sure you aren’t beaten to the punch for some genuinely unique art – get your visit in early.

Dialogue is being exhibited at Leeds Corn Exchange from Friday 28th March to Thursday 3rd April 2014. Free entry.
