This month, sculptural artist Jo Lathwood is inviting Salford to watch her develop her Salford Quays-inspired sculptural work at The Lowry.
The free exhibition ‘Making Up’ runs from January 20 – March 3 and offers visitors “a view behind the scenes” into the spaces that are usually hidden out of sight.
In the first few weeks, gallery visitors will be able to watch Lathwood working daily in person or via live-streamed CCTV footage from The Lowry’s basement workshops (11am–5pm Tuesday–Sunday).
Over the following weeks, the audience will see the installation “morph and grow in real-time” as it is constructed inside the gallery space.

Lathwood prides herself on making sculptures and “large-scale installations that regularly respond to a particular site, event, material, or process.”
Her project at The Lowry will debut with a circular rotating platform made from recycled timber.
Furthermore, over the opening days of the exhibition, Lathwood will build a raised boardwalk to the structure; “eventually inviting the audience to make a simple journey and become part of a circular system.”
Lathwood’s installation is to be re-purposed into functional small wooden boxes that will be given away for free to the public at the end of the exhibition.
