JEN WU - THE WALL
The Wall is a work by American artist Jen Wu, developed in collaboration with Islington Mill as part of a long-term residency beginning in early 2012 based on the intertwined histories of Mancunian rave and regeneration as told by the demolition of its nightclubs. Meditating on a relationship between parties, dematerialisation and social empowerment, it proposes an event of political resisitance and communal identity in the form of a land art rave action. It is to move a wall.
ART ACADEMY
Islington Mill Art Academy is a free self-organised Art School that is actively engaged in the Mill's visual arts programme, regularly collaborating with visiting artists. It was set up in 2007 by a group of art foundation students, dissatisfied with the quality and standards in University fine art courses open to them at that time. A number of founding members of the group had been familar with the Mill and decided that the array of creative practitioners, events and performances that happened there provided the perfect backdrop for the project.

RESIDENCEIS AT ISLINGTON MILL
We offer residencies to visiting artists, providing accommodation (in our artist led Bed and Breakfast), studio space and exhibition space independently under Islington Mill Arts Club and with partner organisations.
Each residency provides a unique contribution to our artistic programme, including artistic talks, exhibitions and performances sharing with the public, local artists and our tenants an insight into our work. Often artists that develop work at Islington Mill early on in their career or mid-career, are offered further opportunties through our networks of arts organisations and artists.
