Elizabeth Price's Major Survey 'A LONG MEMORY' at The Whitworth Explores Memory and History

The UK survey exhibition 'A LONG MEMORY' by Elizabeth Price is on display at The Whitworth in Manchester from 25 October to 1 March. This exhibition showcases a variety of videos, sculptures, and archival materials sourced from places like coalmines and neckties. Featured video installations comprise K (2015), which includes animations and a story narrated by the Krystals, and AT THE HOUSE OF MR X (2007), which delves into the residence of a cosmetics magnate. THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979 (2012) pays tribute to a tragic fire that claimed ten lives, while SLOW DANS (2019) presents KOHL (2018), FELT TIP (2018), and THE TEACHERS (2019), reflecting on coalmines and workplace sexism. New pieces such as GETT READY (2019) and INKY SPIT, FLOPPY DISQ, VOX GERL (2019) tackle themes of social forgetfulness and contested narratives.
