The Planet-Box: Diana Syder & Laura Daly

Planet-Box is the culmination of a three-year partnership between two acclaimed artists from diametrically opposing fields: contemporary art and poetry. It began with a residency at Yorkshire’s amateur space observatories and ended in a unique multi-disciplinary publication and this one-off event. Syder and Daly’s work takes us, visually and poetically, into the dark matter of one woman’s inner life, projecting her thoughts and images out into the cosmos as she blocks out the everyday and makes a pinhole camera of her own isolation. This event will feature readings, enactments, projections and installations all in the magnificent Great Hall of Manchester Central Library.

There will also be an accompanying exhibition of The Planet-Box art work displayed in Manchester Central Library (1st floor corridor) from 8th October to 15th November.
