Creative group Matterlurgy held a special event at the Millennium Gallery<\/a> this Wednesday evening to mark the opening of their new exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch event was held for a list of guests from 18:30-20:00, with the creative minds behind it present to answer people\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The display was curated by Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright in order to illustrate the importance of water to humans and how it is intertwined with community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When questioned about the well dressing centrepiece, Hunter reflected how ‘the details were designed with some difficulty, because some flowers are challenging to source at this time of year’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair worked in collaboration with a group in Youlgrave, who are well dressers that supported them in gathering material, which became a ‘practical issue of ensuring it could last in gallery conditions’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every aspect of the well dressing was hand-made and chosen with care, with a glass cabinet deconstructing every component and labelling all the organic matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matterlurgy has established several works across the UK, most prominently at the University of Cambridge and the University of College London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking with attendees, there was a real buzz about the new exhibition with how it explores water-based structures in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clusters of people attending were standing in the circumference of the central display, almost creating a well around the well dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were several different displays, one showing a log book of burials from 1822 in Sheffield during an outbreak of Cholera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particular focus by attendees was given to the two large screens, which had videos of several key waterworks and reservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What came across from the mix of information and visual elements was that water and its infrastructure has been both a pillar of survival and death in Sheffield\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is open from 15 February to 12 May this year and is open alongside several other collections, such as Phlegm: Pandemic Diaries and the Ruskin Collection: Hand, Head and Heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
