Politics of Paradise presents new and existing work by 25 artists based at Paradise Works. The exhibition is presented in the studio's newly commissioned gallery space and across the building in site specific interventions and performance. Exploring historic and contemporary notions of “paradise”, the artists respond to their new home on the Salford and Manchester border, and to the utopian vision often attributed to, and compounded by artists.
