The exhibition draws on the format of the artists’ manifesto in an attempt to understand something about the future. These manifestos often build upon one another, call each other out, or recycle formats. Reminding us that each attempt to be the zeitgeist to declare/announce something new and radical is informed by what has come before. With each manifesto comes an imagined future and a fictional timeline of what-could-have-been. The exhibition links these thoughts to ideas around modernism, post-war architecture, civic building (and their failings) as another example of a proposed future; and how the remains and tactile remnants of this future are often present in our city environments.

The former 36 Lime Street Gallery was established in 2009 as an artist run space to provide a platform for emerging and established artists to experiment and take risks with new work. Selected by committee from an open call, 8 proposals are selected and exhibited throughout the year.
The gallery space continues to provide a platform as 36.
