SUMMARY:Deities at the Bottom of the Garden
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating exhibition\, artist Richard Bartle explores in minute detail the customs and icons of major world religions and belief systems. Manifested in a series of 12 scale modelled garden sheds\, the work reduces the usually grand architecture of churches and temples into more private spaces of worship. Viewers are invited to make their own minds up about the question of what it is to have faith\, and the differences and similarities between differing belief systems. \nEach sculpture has been extensively researched by Richard through visiting places of worship and talking to people from the communities that use them\, as well as researching religious\, documentary and historical texts. Each shed and its interior has been painstakingly hand crafted\, wherever possible staying true to materials and respecting the sacred and ideological value of the objects and images appropriate to that belief. The work explores the ideas of dedication and obsession\, a global perspective of religion and politics\, and our relationship with physical objects and architecture. \nRichard Bartle is a Sheffield based artist who has exhibited widely in the UK and Europe. He has many works in both private and public collections. He says about his work; ‘I have always sought to observe the fundamental driving forces behind society and its ideas of political\, economic and philosophical progress’. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Central Library in LEGO
DESCRIPTION:Pop in and see this wonderful LEGO model of Central Library\, which was built by Robert Clarkson for ‘Bricktastic’ at Manchester Convention Centre in 2015.  It has been shown around the country and is here now\, ‘inside itself’\, in the Central Library Search Room\, for a limited time only! \nRobert says: ‘My hobby is creating new and unique models out of LEGO.  As I enjoy making buildings\, Manchester Central Library was an ideal choice\, especially as it is such a distinctive local landmark.  Its architecture\, style and design were just itching to be portrayed in LEGO.  I gathered what plans and details I could about the building\, including visits to take photographs and walk around the building to study it. Getting the perspective\, scale and features right are very important. \nAfter spending some time creating designs on paper and my laptop it took me around six weeks to build\, say 300 hours.  Being a member of recognised LEGO User Group\, Northern Brickworks\, helped me in acquiring the necessary bricks and elements I needed.  Now completed\, the model measures half a metre in height\, three quarters of a metre wide.  With the portico at the front this adds another quarter of a metre.  I know for certain that it contains over 21\,000 elements\, as I counted them myself when building it!’ \nFree – please drop in (see times – opposite)
