The year ahead looks exciting and full of creative inspiration. With a packed programme of films, events and exhibitions which aims to delight, entertain and inspire we perhaps don’t need to mention the Oscars word, but hopefully the strong contenders will have you calling into the Cinema for at least one visit this quarter. As always full listings are available in print at QUAD Box office or via a weekly QUAD e-mail, do sign up so you don’t miss out.
From January 2018 full price cinema tickets will be increased to £9. All income from Café and Cinema goes back into supporting our activities, including our Creative Wellbeing programme. As a registered charity and not for profit organisation, your custom and support is vital, moreover if you can encourage just one extra person into QUAD over the year it would make a massive impact.

General Practice: Manifold
QUAD presents newly commissioned work by General Practice, a multi-disciplinary artist collective living and working from Lincoln, UK. Produced during a 12-week residency, the exhibition creatively explores the Peak District’s topography and geographic histories - a landscape that has been shaped and morphed by nature over hundreds of millions of years - through collaborative, expressive and experimental practice. Presented throughout our Extra Gallery Spaces, a series of newly produced artworks from a range of disciplines are exhibited which have taken inspiration from the geography and mythology of this vast and varied National Park.

Thursday 18th January 2018 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Until 28th January 2018 QUAD presents the first UK showing of the mesmerising and immersive installation Line Segments Space by acclaimed Seoul-based artist and technology duo Kimchi and Chips. An architectural web of threads spans a gallery space. It hangs abstract and undefined, a set of thin positive elements segmenting the dark negative space between. Dynamic imaginary forms are articulated into physical volume by the material of this thread, and the semi-material of the light, the visual gravity of the filaments occupying the space between.
6
A 2D canvas is reduced from a surface piece into a line segment, but then constructed into another dimension, a volume. Light creates contrast and order on the lines to articulate digital matter. Digital forms inhabit the interconnected boundaries of space, moulding visual mass. The artists reference Picasso’s light painting, and Reticuláreas of Gego whose work offers a contemplation of the material and immaterial, time and space, origin and encounter and art and technology. Sound Design by Junghoon Pi.
Nathan Baxter, Nick Simpson, Rob Britt, Ross Oliver and Michelle Forrest-Beckett.
