The Good Life

The Good Life presents the work of ten artists based in Manchester, London and Philadelphia. Apartment rejoices in the nature of self-sufficiency, ingenuity and our elavated city centre location. However The Good Life has a dark side and dysfunction and discord are never far away.

The artists are Alice Bradshaw, Mathew Brotherhood, David Gledhill, Paul Harfleet, Gary Leddington, Maeve Rendle, Cherry Tenneson, Rachel Tweddell, John Tiney and Ian Vail.

The show previewed on Thursday 14th April and was our busiest yet. Below are some images of the featured artists.
