Middlesbrough Art Week is back for its 6th edition and takes place across the town from Thursday 28th September to Saturday 7th October. Formerly known as the Weekender, MAW now extends to a full week of exhibitions, talks, workshops, performances, events and exciting public interventions. This years’ MAW programme presents over 120 artists made up of regional, national and international artists, So what can folks expect to stumble across this year.....? A giant inflatable pig, a flame themed decal van with a gun torrent, 650 images of a newborn breastfeeding, human powered clocks, singing rocks and massive portraits of Middlesbrough folk spread across Centre Square are just some of the highlights from this year's Middlesbrough Art Week programme. Joining the list of local and regional artists, MAW brings in some international big hitters such as Mike Nelson, David Shrigley, Ken Friedman & Tehching Hsieh to flesh out its largest programme to date. Through the theme of ‘Measure’, MAW engages with ways of thinking of the past, present and future: from deep time to waiting time to no time. Work selected this year asks us to notice the centrality of time and how we perceive, mark, measure and value it.
