Artists to celebrate 30th anniversary of The Smiths - Manchester Evening News

Excerpt:

A raft of art projects under the banner ‘The Gospel According To’ start next week with a major new exhibition showcasing how influential The Smiths have been in European arts and culture.

The Part 1 will include video installations of contemporary artists Lucienne Cole tap-dancing to Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, Lars Laumann explaining a conspiracy theory that Smiths classic The Queen Is Dead foretold Princess Diana’s demise, and Andrew Bracey’s animation of a bear dancing to This Charming Man.

The exhibition, at the Holden Gallery at Manchester Metropolitan University, will also include a ‘bootleg booth’ screening rare archive footage of early Smiths performances.

...The Gospel According to...(Part 1) exhibition launches from March 16 to May 4, and is free to enter at the Holden Gallery, Grosvenor Building, Cavendish Street, Manchester.
