Feb: Bloc Inn – WebsterGotts Sheffield based collaborative artists Scott Webster and Alexis Gotts present new work, continuing a theme that arises often in their practice: that of drinking-inspired artwork and pub performances. |
 |

Apr: Host – SHU Graduates Bloc hosts six emerging Sheffield-based artists, who in turn will host a series of activities, dialogues and events, in a collaboratively curated group exhibition aiming to explore and contest traditional relationships between gallery and artist, artist and audience. In response to their roles as guests, hosted by Bloc, the artists will explore social and hierarchical positions, cultural networks, hospitality, responsibility, intrusion and occupation. |

May: Scratching the Surface - Jane Mellor Life sized drawings accompanied by sound and installation. Furniture has been drawn realistically but with vital parts of its construction missing and replaced by dense layers of graphite. The time consuming process of making the work is shaped by notions of skill and labour. |
 |
June: The Thatness of Wild - Greg Cox, Gordon Dalton & John Wigley Three artists investigate object-based sculpture. Mundane objects from everyday environments are dissected and juxtaposed with other disparate objects or media, forming a new and sometimes strange marriage of forms. |
 |
July: The Disaster Area - Kate Allen & Edwin Rostron Allen presents a series of pencil drawings based on a short story she started but didn’t finish, while Rostron’s new animation Morris and the Other is a hypnotic tale of frustration and desire, lovingly drawn in 2B pencil. |
 |
Oct: Déjà Vu – Allie Carr, Laure Carnett & Lesley Guy Carr’s recreates images of dancers from 1930’s cigarette cards, using herself as the subject. Carnet’s fragmented film of female legs explores emotional states and communication, while Guy’s photographs explore the nature of female physicality. |
 |
Nov: The Stars in Us All - Neil Webb The mysterious alien intelligence encountered in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the artist’s interest in Quantum Holography have resulted in the creation of this installation, with glossy black surfaces and sounds of transmission signals, choirs and signal tones emitted from the objects in the space. |
