   STASHED Exhibition Special with Gina Warburton

   In a BANG ON very special episode, we chat with Gina Warburton, Curator at The Whitaker Museum, straight from the STASHED exhibition space. STASHED presents the personal art collection of Short Supply. As long as they’ve been artists, they’ve been collectors. Open: 15th November - 23rd February 2025 (Wed - Sun 10am - 4pm, Thurs 10am - 8pm) The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery Whitaker Park, Haslingden Road BB4 6RE “These are the things we can’t take our eyes off, the art we want to hold in our hands, the things we want to make sure don’t end up in a skip.” STASHED asks why more artists don’t consider themselves collectors, and what would happen if they did? Riffing off the Cabinet of Curiosities and bringing their living room to life in the gallery, this exhibition invites you to consider what you’ve got stashed in the attic, and questions how the art market really works (among friends making birthday gifts and swapping zines for paintings).

   Research and development, what the hell is all that about? We chat about the art of research, remembering our time at uni and what research means for us now.
