𝗔𝗛 π˜… π—•π—Ÿπ—ͺ COLLABORATION

Auction House and Back Lane West are delighted to announce a new collaboration for 2023 with 𝗔𝗛 π˜… π—•π—Ÿπ—ͺ, a series of exhibitions due to take place at Back Lane West in Redruth over the next 12 months.

Known historically as a residency space, BLW has hosted artists from all over the world during the past 15 years, but has not often staged standalone exhibitions, until now. With Auction House being temporarily without a home, we were delighted to accept the offer to work with BLW on a series of shows that complement the excellent program of residencies and projects that BLW already offers.

There will be three in total this year, with the first in this series being with Portrait of Britain Award 2020 and 2021 winner, photographer Becky Tyrrell, and her project, The Last Raceway.

Read on for more information and follow both AH and BLW on Instagram for regular updates of other forthcoming events.

BECKY TYRRELL

The Last Raceway

Exhibition: Saturday 17 June – Saturday 24 June.

The Last Raceway tells the story of the United Downs banger racing track in St Day, near Redruth, which is currently under threat of demolition after 50 years of activity. With plans in place to build a new tourist attraction on the site, if successful this would mark the end of a significant part of local history, as well as cutting off a lifeline for many.

The body of work was made over 18 months and is part celebration, part protest – documenting an important part of Cornish history and the dedicated community who have used the track for generations.

We are delighted to have worked with Becky on our first AH x BLW collaboration
