Jennifer Jackson with the inaugural Artist Takeover: Factory International

BBC coverage for the inaugural Artist Takeover At Factory International (Aviva Studios).

We were visted by the BBC during our takeover at Aviva Studios.

This new collaboration will experiment with malleable materials like clay to transform Aviva Studios into a world redolent of the Roman gladiatorial arena, with its glory and cruelty.

"As a Manchester based artist, it’s a huge honour to be the inaugural ‘Artist Takeover’. To be granted the space and resource to experiment with an idea at scale in its earliest iteration, is a humbling gift in such challenging times. It's exciting and radical to be able to work with scenographic ideas and participation side-by-side, allowing us to explore a theatrical spectacle at a scale not afforded to many artists in the UK."
