  Part of a series of videos for the recently relaunched Creative Times website, this video focuses on Unrealised Potential a collaborative group exhibition instigated by artist/curator Mike Chavez-Dawson. The show aims to explore the creative potential of artists’ unrealised projects, blurring the lines between artist, curator, visitor and producer.

  Mary Greg Case Study Videos

  A series of short films commissioned by Manchester Art Gallery as part of the Mary Greg project.
  
  Mary Greg collected everyday domestic objects during the late 1800s and early 1900s. She was particularly interested in pre-industrial handmade objects and wanted to preserve examples of traditional artisan skills. The majority of this strange and peculiarly engaging collection – which was given to Manchester Art Gallery in 1922 – lies in storage.
  
  These videos document an organic excavation of the collection by a group of passionate curators, interpretation developers and artists. In this video art students from MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) were invited to explore the Mary Greg collection and make work in response, as part of their studies.

  Who do you think you are?

  A short film made for DaDa (Disability Arts Disability and Deaf Arts Organisation) as part of their DaDaVisions programme.
  
  This short film was written and acted by trio So Many Excuses; Mandy Colleran, Mandy Redvers-Rowe and Ali Briggs (who some may recognise as Freda in Coronation Street). The film is a take on the classic Frost Report sketch from the 1960s featuring the Two Ronnies and John Cleese; then a comment upon the British class system but now playfully adapted to explore the stereotypes and labels that the disabled place upon each other, Who Do You Think You Are?
