Chris Zhongtian Yuan: Two Improvisations
When Until 13 SeptWhere esea contemporary, 13 Thomas Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1EUPrice Free entry
A quietly brilliant, free contemporary art show tucked into the Northern Quarter — stop-motion film and sculpture that digs into DIY subculture and folklore, from an artist having their first UK institutional outing. Free guided tours run on Saturdays if you want more context.
Small enough to see properly in half an hour, interesting enough to make you glad you did — catch it before it closes in September.
Never miss the good ones
We send the weekend's best hand-picked days out every Thursday. Free.
