💩 The wile pile of sh*te sale

Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September, 12pm - 5pm each day

🟤 ROSEMARY STREET 🟤

The Nutt’s Corner* of the art world is here. Everything less than £20, probably considerably less. It will be the debut outing for our new card readers (thank you Dormant Assets!) but we’ll also take cash.

All ‘profit’ is going into replenishing the big move pot. Of course, we don’t receive any kind of funding for moving, so we have had to pull mostly from our reserves as well as what was left in a grant from Arts & Business NI (who VERY KINDLY weren’t prescriptive about what we could spend the money on).

The total cost of the move so far is just shy of £7k and will rise further: electricians, solicitor’s fees, polycarbonate to replace broken glass on doors and windows throughout, wifi relocation, elevator servicing, transport, signage, lights, so.much.paint, key cutting etc. etc. etc.

That’s on top of extremely generous donations from The MAC, A&L Goodbody, and artist’s families. And it doesn’t begin to cover the time and labour contributed by our amazing volunteers. Thank you all.

*A Sunday market in County Antrim renowned for selling absolute sh*te.

📍We’ve moved!

Our new address is 31 - 35 High Street, BT1 2AB - just 2 mins walk from our building on Rosemary Street!

We’ve been renovating our little socks off, and look forward to welcoming you to Late Night Art on Thursday 3 September for Hiraeth: a gorgeous new exhibition by Eslam - more info to follow!

📍We’ve even registered the postcode this time, so we will be searchable by Google Maps and Royal Mail (still need to get the angle-grinder out to create a postbox though).

📍We’ve attempted to make it very clear when activity is still happening at Rosemary Street (like the Wile pile of sh*te sale - link in bio!) but everything else will either be in our new building or offsite.

📍Our opening hours will remain the same: Tuesday - Saturday, 12pm - 5pm.

📍 As soon as possible, we will re-work our Accessibility Policy in response to our new building, so please email [email protected] in the interim if you have any accessibility questions or requests!

🚢 The Lagan Lighter lives!!

Artist-plumber-inventor-explorer-legend Paddy Bloomer has been working away on the bus-turbine-tower-boat for a while, giving her a total makeover with paint job and 🪩DANCE FLOOR🪩 no less!

AXI 2554 is back on the high seas (the River Bann), making an epic journey from Coleraine to Portadown via (next stops) Kilrea, Portglenone and Ballymoney. So if your mid-Ulster friends or relatives are like ‘wtf did I just see?’ then they don’t need to be committed and you can tell them the whole story!

We commissioned this brilliant vessel for Belfast 2024 year of culture. You can see the process from the very start via the 🌊 WATER WORKS 🌊 link in our bio ☝️

Just incase any clarity was needed after last weeks discussions on the place of AI art in a gallery, we heard you.

Two painting parties, in fact! Because it’s gonna take that (and more) to enable us live, laugh, love or indeed 🪩 werk 🪩 in our new building. Thanks to all of you who have offered to give us a hand so far!

If you’re down to help us out, then these are two dates when we’ll be armed with rollers, trays, dust sheets, pizza and cans:

🎨🍕🍻 Thursday 16 July, 5pm - 9pm

🎨🍕🍻 Tuesday 21 July, 10am - 9pm, drop in/out, whatever suits)

We’ve put together an extremely straightforward Google Form so that we know roughly how many people to expect and when, so we can order pizza and buy cans accordingly. RSVP link in bio! 👆

Also, guaranteed cool-ish space amidst the swelter! The bonus we never thought we could offer 😎

Thank you all, DEEPLY. We are 1.2 people split across 2 people, so we are utterly indebted to any of you who can spare an hour 😭🫶

These excellent slides have been prepared by to help unpack the plans and process around the North Street-Donegall Street redevelopment (previously Tribeca). Thanks to the group for bringing these together and sharing so generously.

The consultation is open today again for in-person viewing and the opportunity to provide feedback. For those who can’t attend in person or would prefer not to give verbal feedback, we’ll add the online feedback link to our bio.

👋 So long Rosemary Street!
 We recently mentioned that we’ve lost PS³ and Blu, but - as of next week - we’ll also start packing up our remaining building on Rosemary Street.

You might have seen that Castlebrooke Investments, owners of the controversial Tribeca redevelopment scheme in central Belfast, has filed a pre-application planning notice proposing 1,000 new homes and two hotels.
(Castlebrooke will hold in-person public consultation events on 30 June and 1 July at the Masonic Hall on Rosemary Street, just in case anybody wants to mention that they’ve let 12 acres of the historic city centre rot and displaced all of its inhabitants so now we have no choice but to buy whatever they’re selling).   Our four exceptionally short wee legs have been kicking away like swans’ for several months whilst we try to keep business-as-usual, our commitments to artists and funders, maintain constant comms with estate agents, and find new premises.   Anna Vidamour’s ANIMUS is our last exhibition in our current Project Space, and closes this Saturday. We’ll miss this building (not the cold or the mould, or the street-level spiciness after dark), but our studio artists are particularly upset about it because the light in those rooms is puuuure gorgeous.
 Nevertheless, we persist. We have massive plans and several big funding apps in the works. We’ll take a break so that we can schlep everything and scrub everything but will kickstart our programme again in August with some Fleadh Fringe events.  Thanks to all of you who have offered help. We’re not sure you really mean it but we’re planning to call your bluff with a painting party. We’ll have more updates soon, as soon as the ink has dried on our new lease!

🫀Last week to view ANIMUS by ANNA VIDAMOUR our beloved graduate-in-residence 2025/26 (we’re keeping her yaaaaaay 🥰)

🫁 Open Tuesday - Saturday, 12pm - 5pm.

🧠 This is also the last show to be in our building on Rosemary Street. We’ll be sharing lots more info on that soon (😑)

PS2 is pleased to announce a collaboration with SIRIUS Arts Centre in Cobh towards an exhibition with artist Eunice Pais, supported by the Gulbenkian Exhibitions Fund in its inaugural edition.

The Gulbenkian Exhibitions Fund assists with the presentation of art from Portugal and Portuguese-speaking African countries in the United Kingdom. Pais is a Portuguese Mozambican practitioner based in Porto, Portugal. PS2 and SIRIUS are jointly organising a commission, displays in each gallery, and a residency and an event series across both venues.

Eunice’s practice spans moving image, photography, sound, and sculpture, and explores the intersections of ecology, labour, belonging, and counter-coloniality. Through research-based and speculative approaches, she addresses the relationships among human and more-than-human worlds through the lenses of extractivism and inherited ways of producing knowledge.

Eunice’s exhibition approaches the North Atlantic as a living and opaque archive: a space of becoming where nature, memory, and dissidence remain in continuous flux. It centres on a new film, Sargassum, alongside existing works, all of which examine kelp as a connective body between the coastal areas of Apúlia, in northern Portugal, Belfast, and Cobh.

PS2 and SIRIUS have been collaborating on strategic development and programming, and this project strengthens their mutual commitment to a civic-oriented approach to art.

The project is one of seven funded by this year’s Gulbenkian Exhibitions Fund. Other organisations include Chapter, Cardiff; Jali Collective, Edinburgh; Orleans House Gallery, Twickenham; Trinity Community Arts, Bristol; Food Museum, Stowmarket; and Nottingham Contemporary.
