Andrew Mcdonald at Castlefield Gallery
I lose myself in the process of drawing, an escape from the world, but the end result, an art-work, is the opposite – a confrontation with the world. Andrew McDonald (2016)
From 28 April - 11 June 2017 Castlefield Gallery (Manchester) presented a significant solo show of works in animation by artist Andrew McDonald. A selection of existing pieces were presented alongside two new works in the medium that has been an integral part of his practice for two decades.
McDonald capitalises on the intensity of a medium that requires drawing images over and over again. His animations often feature lone characters caught in austere, colourless and darkly comic loops. In a new two-channel video installation Fence/Hammock (2017), McDonald introduces two separate figures that are both busy striving for escape. One figure struggles with the entrapments of his hammock, whom then fatigued from his multiple attempts to find freedom, remains caught in an inescapable stupor; perhaps content to simply dream of freedom, to dream of another place. Another figure climbs over a fence and runs off, only to reappear on the screen. The figure is relentless in repeating these actions, despite making little progress at all. Where is freedom to be found here, on the other side of the fence or in resolving to make peace with the futility and absurdity of the situation?
McDonald’s work with animation began with pads of tracing paper, drawing on each page from back to front, he later incorporated photocopying, laboriously scanning each image into a computer to be edited together to make a film, eventually he obtained a graphics tablet which allowed him to draw directly onto a computer.
The artist’s approach to mark making is reminiscent of British Post War Modernism; purposefully scratchy hand-drawn lines provoke psychological and physical sensations in us. The artist’s images wriggle and writhe across the paper, existing in real time and jumping from the screen into our physical space. His drawings take on a life of their own, existing as strange life-like forms descending upon us from another place, they are uncanny in their ability to repulse whilst equally compel us to engage with them.
McDonald’s making process is intense, extended periods of drawing and production demanding months of the artist’s time, yet often resulting in viewing experiences that are only minutes, even seconds long. The self-induced isolation required to make McDonald’s work mirrors the lone looped figures in his animations, speaking to the notion of the artist as ‘tortured soul’. Through his work McDonald sheds light on the inner workings of his mind, sharing this momentarily with the viewer, only to once more retreat back to the studio.
Andrew McDonald is Manchester based, teaches at the University of Central Lancashire, and is represented by The International 3. He has exhibited nationally, including with MIMA, Site Gallery, Chapter, The Grundy Gallery, and was featured in British Art Show 6.
Gallery Films - Castlefield Gallery: Artist led galleries
Gallery Films is a new series of interviews with five galleries from around England that gives insight into the different ways in which exhibition spaces can operates
A gallery's sources of funding and context all bear great influence on their programme and consequently the kind of work they are likely to exhibit.
Researching and understanding this is how the hopeful exhibitor can establish whether a space is likely to respond favourably to their approaches.
Galleries can play a key role in the careers of artists, but for many reaching them appears a remote goal. Understanding how a gallery works and its priorities are the first steps in building a relationship with a space. This series of interviews interrogates 5 different models of gallery operation, identifying the commonalities and the differences in how they work and interact with artists, audiences and their contexts.
In this video Castlefield Gallery director Kwong Lee discusses the gallery programme, how they discover the artists that they work with and how the gallery engages with the artist community and the local context of Manchester.

Manchester is a major city in the northwest of England with a rich industrial heritage. The Castlefield conservation area’s 18th-century canal system recalls the city’s days as a textile powerhouse, and visitors can trace this history at the interactive Museum of Science & Industry. The revitalised Salford Quays dockyards now house the Daniel Libeskind-designed Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry cultural centre.
Manchester is fringed by the Cheshire Plain to the south, the Pennines to the north and east and an arc of towns with which it forms a continuous conurbation. The local authority is Manchester City Council. The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Mamucium or Mancunium
Manchester achieved city status in 1853. The Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894, creating the Port of Manchester and linking the city to sea, 36 miles (58 km) to the west. Manchester fortunes declined after the Second World War, owing to deindustrialisation, but the IRA bombing in 1996 led to extensive investment and regeneration.
In 2014, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranked Manchester as a beta world city, the highest-ranked British city apart from London. Manchester is the third-most visited city in the UK. Manchester is notable for its architecture, culture, musical exports, media links, scientific and engineering output, social impact, sports clubs and transport connections. Manchester Liverpool Road railway station was the world's first inter-city passenger railway station and in the city scientists first split the atom and developed the stored-program computer.
Manchester is well known for being a city of sport. Two Premier League football clubs bear the city name – Manchester United and Manchester City. Manchester United play its home games at Old Trafford, in the neighbouring Greater Manchester borough of Trafford, the largest club football ground in the United Kingdom. Manchester City's home ground is the City of Manchester Stadium (also known as the Etihad Stadium for sponsorship purposes); its former ground, Maine Road was demolished in 2003.

Free Market - Patrick Keiller
Thursday 18th May.
Speaker: Patrick Keiller
Over the course of three days, Market Gallery hosted numerous arts organisers, artists, journalists, writers, economists and activists from across Scotland & the UK.
Initiated partly as a response to losing two of its gallery spaces, Market Gallery wanted to problem-pose the underlying issues behind the allocation of resources and property within the arts & wider cultural sphere. The aim of the forum was to understand and critique the structural complexities and collectively search for potential alternatives or solutions.
The forum sought to address our increasingly fragile ecology of arts, culture & media from a range of perspectives:
- Who and what determines how cultural resources are distributed, and for what purposes?
- What are the effects of privatisation on the arts?
- How can we actively transform art, work & culture for the better?
- How can we build radically new forms of collective, cross-cultural organisation?
Patrick Keiller (b.Blackpool 1950). Studied and practised architecture between 1967-79 before studying Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in the Department of the Environmental Media. Keiller has been making films since 1981, which have been widely screened, internationally and in the UK. Commissions include the Arts Council, The British Film Institute, the BBC and Channel 4.
