Past:

Gwen Riley Jones with Action for Conservation at RHS Bridgewater.

McCoy Wynne, Front Exterior (From Are You Living Comfortably), 2021.

Energy House – McCoy Wynne (2021-22)

Artist duo McCoy Wynne were selected as artists in residence at Energy House following an open call in late 2020. Energy House is the world’s first full-size, two-bedroom, brick-built Victorian terraced house constructed inside an environmentally controllable chamber, located on campus at the University of Salford. McCoy Wynne worked closely with the University’s unique research facility throughout 2021, responding to a specific retrofitting project. The resulting series Are You Living Comfortably? was acquired by the Collection as a legacy of the residency. 

This artist residency was co-commissioned in partnership with Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool.
