This first Art Lab exhibition at Dean Clough marks a return back to the physical space and mirrors Art Lab’s event practice of randomly pairing two artists together to explore commonalities and collaborative methods. During 2022, each artist pair, who may never have met or worked together before, embarked on an experimental journey to create, select or co-produce work in whichever way they chose.
