Stage lll
24th October - 17th December 2025. MIRROR, Arts University Plymouth, PL4 8AT
Stage lll is part of a project by Dan Howard-Birt called ’The Errant Collaborators’.
“‘The Errant Collaborators (a play within a play) is an exhibition that explores the inherent problems of painting, authorship, display, and control, by collapsing the boundaries between studio and gallery, and forcing works into unpredictable, often uncomfortable relationships that challenge the roles of artist, curator, and the paintings themselves.’ Dan Howard-Birt”
Stage II
19th September - 11th October 2025. BayArt
Stage II is the second instalment of the touring group exhibition, Stage, initially exhibited at kingsgate project space. Curated by Liam O’Connor and James Moore with Abi Birkinshaw. Stage is formed of two main elements: Stages, and Actors. Stages are formed with large backdrops made from drawings, paintings, textiles, fabric hangings, and found materials. Actors are smaller works that exist directly on top of these stages.
