ArtyParti

“[Mackie’s Corner] is a really quirky space. An old, unused building, it’s not just a white cube, and it does give you the problem of fitting work. You have to use creativity to your best.
"Every time exhibitions have been here, every panel have been used in different ways. To have been given to us as it is, it’s similar to my own art - taking something which is almost discarded, and making it into something beautiful.” - Anna Glover
 
This episode of ArtyParti was recorded in front of a live audience at Mackie’s Corner, a Sunderland city centre venue reimagined as an arts space. Meet the group of artists from “The Sunderland INDIE”, and hear how their practice was influenced by the building.
