    S2, Episode 11 - Energy House 2.0's Artist in Residence Special - Mishka Henner & Emily Speed

    We are back at MediaCity for a very special episode with the two leading artists in residence at the University's Energy House 2.0. In partnership with Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool and Castlefield Gallery in Manchester, the University of Salford's Art Collection is hosting two unique artist residences at Energy House 2.0 - a world leading energy performance research centre at the University. Mishka Henner, a Manchester-based artist who is known for often challenging conventional perspectives with his art, completed the first of the 18-month artist residences in 2024 culminating in the stunning 'The Conductor' piece which echoed the Energy House by channelling all the world's lightning strikes through a single percussionist performing inside a reverberation chamber at the University's Acoustics Laboratories. Emily Speed, an artist based in the North West, who is known for examining the relationship between the body and architecture, is the current artist in residence and is due to complete at the end of 2024. The work of both artists is in response to Energy House 2.0's research, exploring themes of the climate crisis, net zero research and the future of housing, with the works to be presented at Castlefield Gallery in Spring 2025. To find out more about the Energy House Labs here at the University of Salford, visit: energyhouselabs.salford.ac.uk Both residencies have been made possible through funding from the Friends of Energy House 2.0 Community: energyhouse2.salford.ac.uk/friends-of-energy-house-2-0/ Talking Salford is an official podcast from The University of Salford.
