Lunchtime Crit
We invited anyone interested in a Lunchtime Crit session to NewBridge Studios, to chat with guests Mark Jackson and Luke McCreadie. Mark Jackson curated A Bad Policeman is Always Busy, exhibited at Gallery North in 2016 and featured work by Luke McCreadie.
Josh Wilson (NewBridge Studio Member) initiated and led a series of crits for Practice makes Practice. These regular open crit sessions create opportunities for artists to share new ideas and discuss work in progress, while gaining and providing critical feedback within a supportive group of peers.

Luke McCreadie is an artist who lives and works in Newcastle Upon Tyne, he studied both his BA and MA in Fine Art at The Slade School of Fine Art in London and he was the recent recipient of the Warwick Stafford Fellowship. His work spans different mediums, centering itself in sculpture but using perfromance, film and music. Luke sees his work as a cross between the clarity in the idea of K.F.E. Trahndorff’s Gesamptkunstwerk and the cacophony of a one man band.
