Antwerp Mansion

The Mansion is a not-for-profit renovation project based in Rusholme. The building is owned by a former student tenant of the property, and aims to become a gallery, music rehearsal space and music venue. I found the former website for The Mansion through a link and exhibited some work there (from the previous posts here), after which one of the founding members of The Mansion asked me to document the ongoing regeneration of the building. I agreed to return every couple of months to photograph the changes that took place.

The building and project captured me - something about the potential of the place and the determination of the group in the face of obvious walls to scale, both metaphorically and physically.
