Hard Shoulder Motorway City is an exhibition of photography looking at the community of South Leeds

Preview: Tuesday 19th May | 5:30-8:30pm

Hard Shoulder Motorway City is an exhibition of photography conceived and created by Lane Shipsey and curated in collaboration with Bruce Davies of BasementArtsProject. The project has two strands; one exploring the urban landscapes of South Leeds and the other its inhabitants.

The exhibition explores the impact of the once ‘futuristic’ planning policies of the 1970’s, how they are experienced by the community of those who live and work in the area, and how those policies have been altered over the years.

  • Each exhibition lasts for approximately a month (with periods of closure between for changing exhibitions)
  • Except for the December exhibition which lasts for 3 months and the summer exhibition which lasts for 2 months
  • Average of 7 exhibitions per year (not including stand-alone events such as concerts or charity takeover days or external art fairs and exhibitions that take place outside of BasementArtsProject) This equates to 11 months of exhibitions per year.
