RIBA North East Awards 2018

1 Dec 2017 Northumbria and Ryder Architecture win award for most innovative collaboration

Northumbria University and Ryder have been recognised as the UK’s most innovative collaboration between a business and a university in the Times Higher Education Awards.

The University and Ryder began collaborating seven years ago to develop a specialist centre of excellence for digital engineering and transformation, forming BIM Academy, which provides consultancy, research and education activities on Building Information Modelling to global clients. This innovative approach has been recognised with the award for Most Innovative Contribution to Business-University Collaboration, sponsored by the National Centre for Universities and Business.

The award is presented to the business that demonstrates the most imaginative and effective ‘game-changing’ partnership with an institution which has led to significant long-term benefits to the business, the university and the economy.

Through BIM Academy, Northumbria academics and graduates work with Ryder to support the digital transformation of the construction industry through Building Information Modelling. BIM Academy provides independent research-based expertise combined with practical industry experience which helps clients transform their businesses through the intelligent application of smart processes and digital technologies.

Thanks to the success of the partnership, BIM Academy has been commissioned to work on high-profile development projects in Europe, the Middle and Far East and Australasia including the Sydney Opera House and Hong Kong’s M+ Museum. Most recently, it has been commissioned to provide BIM support to the Chinese creator of Forest City, a US$100 billion development off the coast of Malaysia, near Singapore. Described as the ‘Oscars of UK higher education’, the Times Higher Education Awards attract entries from universities that exemplify talent, dedication and innovation across all aspects of university life. Judges particularly praised the partnership for bringing vital competitive advantage to the UK construction industry.

Professor Glen McHale, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Engineering and Environment at Northumbria University, said: “BIM Academy is one of our shining examples of truly innovative partnership working which has brought huge benefits to all involved. Our students and staff have benefitted from being able to apply their teaching and research into real-life contexts; our partners at Ryder have benefitted from the leading-edge research knowledge within the University, and of course, our clients have benefitted from this excellent combination of skills to transform their businesses. “We were shortlisted against some excellent collaborative partnerships and are delighted that the judges recognised how distinctive our work in this area has been over the past seven years.

Peter Barker, partner at Ryder and managing director of BIM Academy, said: “It is very rewarding to see that our team’s hard work has paid off in growing our joint venture to be an internationally successful commercial business, as well as a centre of academic research excellence for the digital construction sector.” Last month, BIM Academy was also recognised at the BT Dynamites17 awards, winning the international success award for its work in delivering building information modelling consultancy and research to clients across the world.

4 Aug 2017 Ryder Architecture Announces Five New Partners

The new partners have been appointed to continue to build on the growing expertise of Ryder across an increasingly diverse sector and geographic base.

Peter Barker, Gareth Callen, Andrew Costa, Richard Dorkin and Ronnie Graham have all been promoted and join senior partner Peter Buchan, managing partner Mark Thompson and current partners Ian Kennedy, Gordon Murray and Richard Wise as part of the leadership team who will take Ryder through the next phase of the practice’s evolution.

Ronnie Graham has been with Ryder for over 17 years with design and management skills in the office, leisure, residential and education sectors and significant urban design experience.

Managing partner Mark Thompson said, “These promotions recognise the significant contribution to Ryder during their combined service of over 75 years including newcomer Andy who only joined in 2015. We are entering an exciting phase in the evolution of Ryder. These appointments bring further resilience building on the foundations established by the current leaders over the past 25 years to ensure a continued passionate, collaborative and pioneering approach for which Ryder is recognised.”

The practice which now employs 140 people across six locations in the UK, Hong Kong and Vancouver also celebrated promotions for Francesca Harrison and Paul Milner to senior architects, David McMahon and Grant Sellars to architectural directors, Martin Smith to associate and Helen Whitfield to communications director.

23 Feb 2017 Ryder Architecture Celebrate Best Companies Success

The architecture practice was ranked tenth place in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For at the awards ceremony held at Battersea Evolution.

Andra Antone, Andy Costa, Helen Whitfield, David McMahon:

Best Companies received entries from over 400 small companies across the UK and over 4.5m employees were surveyed to gain scores across leadership, engagement, wellbeing and benefits.

Having maintained a three star status in the survey for the past five consecutive years, the business has rocketed from its previous highest placement in 43rd to tenth position through dedication and commitment from Ryder’s leadership team to engage, nurture and develop all their people.

Established in Newcastle in 1953, Ryder now has global connectivity with teams based in Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Hong Kong and Vancouver, employing 150 people. The practice has continued to invest in people and skills despite challenging market conditions with latest accounts for the business showing turnover has increased to over £11m with profit before tax increasing to £1.5m.

Helen Whitfield, communications leader at Ryder said, “The Best Companies award is a testimony to the passion of our leadership team to continuously develop and attract exceptional talent, providing our clients with the best possible service and design and making Ryder a great place to work.”

Alongside continued focus on delivering design excellence to clients across the UK, the business is strengthening its international credibility, celebrating the opening of an office in Vancouver in February and securing world leading expertise in Passivhaus design, with architects Adam James and Warren Schmidt, who will be disseminating their knowledge across the practice, simultaneously benefitting design in the UK and China.

Mark Thompson, managing partner at Ryder said, “The practice continues to be committed to all its established sectors while pursuing several overseas opportunities, including our first major project in Hong Kong. We have won some significant commissions in the UK offering collaborative project working to our clients.”

Ryder are leading the pioneering PlanBEE (Built Environment Education) programme and working alongside educational partners Gateshead College and Northumbria University to provide a unique apprenticeship offering a B.Eng in Architectural Engineering with guaranteed employment prospects with some of the north east’s leading construction businesses and ensuring the regional skills shortage demand is met.

Mark said, “We believe PlanBEE will inspire a new generation of bright, talented people to consider a rewarding career in construction. The blended learning approach aims to deliver work ready graduates with the creative, practical and entrepreneurial ambition the industry needs.”

6 Dec 2016 Motionspot and Ryder Architecture crowned winners of the prestigious Celia Thomas Prize

Held at the Palace of Westminster, the international competition to design an accessible hotel room of the future was run in association with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Bespoke Hotels. The competition attracted entries from around the world including Germany, Russia, Hong Kong and Canada. Entrants competed across a range of categories, including Product and Service Design, as well as the Celia Thomas Prize, worth £20,000 – believed to be the largest cash prize in the UK for a design concept.

Specialist accessible design company, Motionspot and international design practice, Ryder Architecture’s collaborative winning entry – AllGo, is a unique, universal approach to hotel room design to ensure that all rooms are functional, flexible, accessible and beautiful in their design.

AllGo will deliver personalised, accessible hotel rooms across the world, removing the barriers to travel and creating truly inclusive environments for guests. Each room can be adapted to the needs of the user through integrated and flexible design features that can be modified before the arrival of the guest.

Motionspot and Ryder will now look to realise the design concepts and aim to roll out pilot rooms in the coming year. It is hoped this will act as a catalyst illustrating the potential of a hotel environment, delivering beautiful, functional and fully accessible rooms.

Ed Warner, founder of Motionspot said, “Accessible hotel room design can be a real headache for architects, hotel operators and users alike. In collaboration with Ryder, the competition gave us the opportunity to create a concept that redefines the design of hotel bedrooms and bathrooms so they deliver the individual access requirements of guests without compromising on the aesthetics of the environment.”

David McMahon, associate at Ryder said, “We are extremely proud of the concept we have developed. Our collaboration with Motionspot has allowed us to create aspirational and inclusive environments for all. We hope that this paves the way in accessible design illustrating that good design should meet the needs of all.”

The entries were judged by a panel which included Paralympic gold medallist Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Stirling Prize winning architect Alan Stanton, and Baroness Celia Thomas herself, gathered in the Autumn to assess the submissions.

Ryder highest ranking architect in prestigious top 100

For the second year running Ryder Architecture has made The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Newcastle City Library by Ryder Architecture: photo © Tim Crocker

4 Mar 2014 – This year Ryder is the highest placed UK architect in the prestigious best small companies list. Nearly 900 organisations entered the awards and the opinions of 250,000 employees were canvassed, making it the largest survey of workplace engagement in the UK. Key indicators include leadership, management, colleagues, pay, training, wellbeing and CSR.

Jon Humphreys, right, Ryder associate, collects the award:

Ryder managing partner Mark Thompson said “We are delighted with this accolade, particularly for all our people who put in so much hard work and who clearly gain so much from working at Ryder. To be recognised in the Sunday Times top 100 for the second year running shows consistency in our approach ‘Excellence in our people, service and architecture’. To be the highest placed architect is a great benchmark for us to measure continued improvement.”

With offices in Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Newcastle – where the company was founded in 1953 – the ethos of creating talented multi disciplinary teams fostered by the founders Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates clearly remains to this day. Now a 120 strong practice, Ryder has also been shortlisted for Building magazine’s Architectural Practice of the Year award. Its iconic £82m anti crime centre near Glasgow (Scottish Crime Campus) is nominated for a BCO award and it has recently been appointed for a major office project in Greater Manchester.

19 June 2013 – Forth Energy have secured Section 36 consent for the largest biomass plant in Scotland. The design by Ryder Architecture “draws heavily on the Port of Grangemouth’s position as Scotland’s largest container terminal, using the size and shape of cargo container as the basic building block of the new plant”.

Ryder Architecture launches 60th birthday exhibition in London

10 June 2013 – Ryder Architecture continues to celebrate its 60th birthday year with the successful launch of a Ryder retrospective exhibition at the Building Centre. The launch event on 6th June was a relaxed and lively evening, attended by senior figures from all areas of the built environment industry.

Says Peter Buchan, Senior Partner at Ryder, “It’s a credit to all the people who have worked at Ryder in its 60 year history that we can put together an exhibition of such important projects across such a range of sectors.”

images from architect

The exhibition runs until the 27th June, and charts the challenges, developments and complimentary strands of architecture across the decades, mapping Ryder’s work and seeking to place it within the context of the times. The projects chosen for the exhibition particularly highlight Ryder’s long standing use of interdisciplinary collaborations to support flexible design teams that answer the increasingly complex demands of management, economics and technology within design in the built environment.

Peter continues, “Working together – multi-disciplinary working – has always been at the core of Ryder’s ethos, from the very beginning with Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates’ innovative partnership in 1953, up to the present day with the Ryder-led Future of Built Environment Education campaign to reform built environment education and entry to the industry professions.”

The exhibition started it tour at the Briggait in Glasgow, and will move on from London to Mann Island, Liverpool, in October and finish at the BALTIC Centre in Newcastle in November.

Ryder’s 60th anniversary year has already seen some prestigious successes, with the practice winning two categories in this year’s AJ100 Awards; New Member of the Year, and the Best Place to Work in the North East & Yorkshire. Ryder has also achieved Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For, 2013.

13 Mar 2013 – Ryder Architecture managing partner, Mark Thompson, said “To be one of only two national architectural practices included is a great achievement and demonstrates continued improvement and progress despite challenging economic circumstances in recent years. It is fitting and very rewarding to get this recognition on our 60th anniversary.”

“To see our development and training ethos impact so positively on staff is also particularly encouraging. It gives us a great platform to go forward with renewed confidence and energy, striving for further improvement.”

Nearly 450 firms registered in the survey and the views of more than 28,000 individual employees were gathered, measuring success on key indicators including leadership, management, colleagues, pay, training, wellbeing and giving something back.

Ryder scored best out of the new entrants for personal growth, with a positive score of 86%, figuring in the top ten. Training also scored impressively and 84% of staff indicated it is of great personal benefit, while 92% said their job experience is of value to their future development. Employees also said the company makes a positive difference to the environment.

Where institutions have worked in partnership with architects, planners and stakeholders usage has in fact increased despite predictions.

Supernatural Thrillers: reading recommendations

Ghosts of Harvard by Francesca Serritella

A Harvard freshman becomes obsessed with her schizophrenic brother’s suicide. Then she starts hearing voices. Cadence Archer arrives on Harvard’s campus desperate to understand why her brother, Eric, a genius who developed paranoid schizophrenia took his own life there the year before. Losing Eric has left a black hole in Cady’s life, and while her decision to follow in her brother’s footsteps threatens to break her family apart, she is haunted by questions of what she might have missed. And there’s only one place to find answers. As Cady struggles under the enormous pressure at Harvard, she investigates her brother’s final year, armed only with a blue notebook of Eric’s cryptic scribblings. She knew he had been struggling with paranoia, delusions, and illusory enemies—but what tipped him over the edge? With her suspicions mounting, Cady herself begins to hear voices, seemingly belonging to three ghosts who walked the university’s hallowed halls—or huddled in its slave quarters. Among them is a person whose name has been buried for centuries, and another whose name mankind will never forget. Does she share Eric’s illness, or is she tapping into something else? Cady doesn’t know how or why these ghosts are contacting her, but as she is drawn deeper into their worlds, she believes they’re moving her closer to the truth about Eric, even as keeping them secret isolates her further. Will listening to these voices lead her to the one voice she craves—her brother’s—or will she follow them down a path to her own destruction?

The Rook by Daniel O'Malley

"The body you are wearing used to be mine." So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Chequy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain. She also discovers that she possesses a rare, potentially deadly supernatural ability of her own. In her quest to uncover which member of the Chequy betrayed her and why, Myfanwy encounters a person with four bodies, an aristocratic woman who can enter her dreams, a secret training facility where children are transformed into deadly fighters, and a conspiracy more vast than she ever could have imagined. Filled with characters both fascinating and fantastical, The Rook is a richly inventive, suspenseful, and often wry thriller that marks an ambitious debut from a promising young writer.

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter. Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that has weighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. In her search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, she discovers that she's not the only person looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

The Anomaly by Michael Rutger (Pseudonym), Michael Marshall

Not all secrets are meant to be found. If Indiana Jones lived in the X-Files era, he might bear at least a passing resemblance to Nolan Moore -- a rogue archaeologist hosting a documentary series derisively dismissed by the "real" experts, but beloved of conspiracy theorists. Nolan sets out to retrace the steps of an explorer from 1909 who claimed to have discovered a mysterious cavern high up in the ancient rock of the Grand Canyon. And, for once, he may have actually found what he seeks. Then the trip takes a nasty turn, and the cave begins turning against them in mysterious ways. Nolan's story becomes one of survival against seemingly impossible odds. The only way out is to answer a series of intriguing questions: What is this strange cave? How has it remained hidden for so long? And what secret does it conceal that made its last visitors attempt to seal it forever?

Zwischen den Seilen - Royal Rumble Review

In der Royal Rumble KickOff Show gewannen Jack Swagger und Mark Henry das Tag Team Fatal-4Way Match, und erhielten dafür die letzten Eintrittskarten für das Royal Rumble Match. Das erste Bild das man in der Hauptshow sah, war eine schwarze Limousine, aus der Vince und Stephanie McMahon ausstiegen. Äußerst gut gelaunt (weil sie sicher sind dass Roman Reigns seinen Titel verliert), gaben die beiden JoJo ein optimistisches Interview. Anschließend startete das Event mit dem Last man standing Match zwischen Dean Ambrose und Kevin Owens, um den Intercontinental Championship. Zuerst ging es außerhalb des Ringes zur Sache. Unter Anderem wurden Kendo Sticks eingesetzt, es gab einen Canon Ball von Owens durch Dean Ambrose und die Ringabbsperrung. Im Ring gab es einen Back Body Drop gegen Ambrose durch zwei Stühle. Ein weiteres Highlight war ein Elbow von Ambrose, gesprungen vom obersten Ringseil, durch Owens der auf einem Tisch neben dem Ring lag. Das Finish war sehr spannend gestaltet. Owens hatte zu Matchbeginn draußen am Ring zwei Tische übereinander aufgestellt. Da flog er nun von der Ringecke selbst durch und stand bis 10 nicht mehr auf. Ambrose verteidigte damit seinen Titel. Weiter ging es mit dem Tag Team Championship Match Usos gegen New Day. Xavier Woods stellte uns vorher noch Francesca 2 vor, seine neue Posaune, nachdem Francesca 1 von Chris Jericho zerstört wurde. Im Match ging es durchweg hin und her. Es war schwer nicht den Überblick zu verlieren. Auch Xavier Woods half am Ring, durch Ablenkungen und leichtem Eingreifen, etwas mit. Die Usos schlugen sich dennoch sehr gut, bis Jey Uso dann auf Big E's Schultern landete und sich das Big Ending einfing. New Day also mit erfolgreicher Titelverteidigung. Kalisto zeigte im United States Championship Match zwar immer wieder tolle Aktionen, wurde jedoch hauptsächlich von Alberto Del Rio dominiert. Trotzdem schaffte es der kleine Luchadore mit seinem Finisher, dem Salida Del Sol, sich den US Titel erneut zu sichern.

Charlotte verteidigte ihren Titel erneut mit Hilfe ihres Vaters Ric Flair. Außerhalb des Ringes gab es eine Ohrfeige von der Legende gegen Becky Lynch, die auch eine zurückgab. Später im Match sollte der Aufgabegriff von Becky, der "Disarmer" zum Sieg führen, doch Flair warf seine Jacke über Beckys Kopf. Diese Ablenkung führte schließlich zum Sieg von Charlotte.

Nach dem Match gab es noch weitere Attacken gegen die Irin, bis dann Sasha Banks zurückkehrte, Becky aus dem Ring trat. Alles sah nach einer Verbündung von ihr Charlotte aus, doch dann zeigte sie den Backstapper und das Bank- Statement gegen Tochter Flair.

Die Highlights des Royal Rumble Matches 2016:

Kofi Kingston landete bei erster Eliminierung auf den Schultern von Big E und wurde damit vorrübergehend gerettet

Die League of Nations attackierte Roman Reigns außerhalb des Ringes, unter anderem durch das Kommentatorenpult.

Die Wyatt Family mischte sich auch nach ihrem Ausscheiden, weiterhin mehrfach ins Match ein.

R-Truth verwechselte das Royal Rumble Match mit dem Money in the Bank Leitermatch, stellte eine Leiter auf, kletterte hoch und griff ins Leere.

WWE CEO Triple H gewinnt das Match und damit den WWE World Heavyweight Championship!

A Beginner's Guide to Opening an Art Gallery

Six months after opening her own eponymous gallery in London's King's Cross, gallerist and curator Sid Motion shares a few lessons she has learned along the way, for those who dream of following her lead

— October 10, 2016 — AnOther

If you’ve walked down York Way towards Regent’s Canal in London’s King’s Cross at any point over the last six months, you likely will have noticed a pink neon-signposted new addition to its ever-evolving landscape. When Sid Motion first opened her eponymous gallery in June, in a space which once played host to a bookies, it was received with curiosity, excitement and wonderment. Her first exhibition, What’s It Gonna Be? embraced local curiosity wholeheartedly, its title as much a reference to passing locals who would pop their heads through the door into the builder’s chaos inside to ask what she was making there, to her openness in considering what it might grow into in the future. Now, three exhibitions in, the gallery is gathering momentum with every passing month.

Motion is not, perhaps, what you might expect from a gallery owner. She’s a young woman, in a male-dominated industry, for one, and, as she confesses, grinning, “not rich!” She jokes cheerily about the confusion she’s often faced with when male associates meet her for the first time, too, expecting ‘Sid’ to be an older gentleman setting up shop in the corner of mahogany-clad member’s club. To equate either her age or her self-awareness for inexperience, however, would be fatally inaccurate. Motion grew up in London and first studied painting at Chelsea, before going on to the London College of Communication to study Graphic Design. “It is kind of a nuts thing, but I got slightly obsessed with printing and typography.”

The decision paid off, and when the time came around to present work at the degree show, Motion asked, rather, to curate it. “That was a really nice process,” she says. “For the first time I was talking to my colleagues and my peers about what they wanted to show, and how they would like to show it. That was sort of my first glimpse into all this. Three days after I graduated, I started my first job in a gallery.”

For five years, she worked her way up in London’s art galleries, a progression which culminated at American powerhouse David Zwirner gallery, and a role as Artistic Programme and Communications Manager at Photo London. Everything about Motion’s work in the gallery is nuanced, from selection of artists who show within it, to the accessibility of price-points for the work displayed, and the extra–curricular activity in the form of talks and suchlike that she is keen to foster. Here, we share three elements essential for those keen to follow in her wake.

Find Your Space

An art gallery is nothing without a space to house it, and as Motion attests, finding this space was the hardest part. She spent many years inquiring about vacant buildings, empty shopfronts and 'To Let' signs before stumbling across the dilapidated old bookkeepers on York Way, and, after fierce negotiation with the landlord to seize it for herself, many more months of work inside it to pull away layers and layers of wall to create the bright white, light-filled space it has since become. As it stands now, the gallery feels warm and welcoming rather than austere, as its varied and friendly clientele will attest – the perfect venue for the exhibition openings, held every four to six weeks, which unfailingly have people spilling out of the front door onto the tree-lined pavement outside.

Its location is key, Motion explains, attracting the likes of her landlord, who runs the Turkish restaurant next door – “he’s very intrigued; he comes in often” – as frequently as it does London's leading art-world talents, from buyers and curators to critics and fellow gallerists. Many of her locals are keen followers of the gallery’s activity, in fact – a participation that Motion welcomes. “I do feel very grateful to have the space, so I need to be honest about what it is, and I like listening to the local people’s feelings about it. I want it to be a very successful commercial gallery, but I don’t want to lose people, or leave them out.” It’s the perfect fit for Motion’s vision, which is accessible and open above all else.

Build a Network of Brilliant Artists

An art gallery is nothing without a plethora of artists to fill it, and Motion, with many years of training in artist management behind her, and an insatiable hunger to see new work and meet new people, is well-qualified in this respect. This operation begins with a wishlist, she explains – “I have a big, big, list that I just add names to every day” – which ranges from the lesser-known and the difficult-to-track-down through to the well established.

For Motion, the diversity of artists and exhibitions held is as important as the work itself; her first exhibition, a group show, featured only artists unsigned in the UK. “When I approached [Damien Meade] for the first exhibition, it was like writing to kind of Mick Jagger or something,” she said. “I thought ‘He’s definitely gonna say no to this’ and actually he was really open to the idea. For me having Damien in the show kind of sums up the journey.” Her second, entitled 12 Conversations, was a solo show of a 24-year-old painter called Morgan Wills, while her third takes the form of a two-woman exhibition, which has just opened. The programme will continue in this vein, she assures me – “I want to do as much as possible!”

Shape Your Curatorial Vision

Approaching the work with the eyes of a curator has presented an exciting new challenge for Motion. “I knew what I wanted, and I knew what I didn’t want,” she told me before the opening of the first exhibition. “When it came to choosing these works, I knew that, for the first time, I needed to think ‘Can I sell it? Can I talk about it? Could I plan an event around it? Would it work with the other pieces?’ I’m not just going with the same ‘Oh wow, I love that’ – I’m looking at things with different eyes, thinking ‘I’m a gallerist now’. So the whole process to me has been about learning.”

Motion has begun garner interest for her curation with her third exhibition, a two-woman show spanning paint, photography and glass, which places what the gallerist describes as Michelle Conway’s “gritty, evocative studies of empty landscapes” alongside Francesca Longhini’s “urban view on contemporary life”. “The ambition is for this to be a space which introduces the art world to new work,” she says. “Validation isn’t quite the right term, but to have established, educated people walk through the door and say ‘I’ve never seen this before, this is really interesting’… That feels really good.”

As for her ambitions, they remain the same now as they were six months ago. “I still feel very new, there’s a huge amount to play with and learn from and experience, and that’s maybe why I’m testing out age, and medium, and levels of establishment, and that sort of thing. But fundamentally, my core interest is to have the artists as the focus.” This determination to maintain an honest and authentic approach to working alongside the artists she shows permeates every aspect of the gallery, from being open about price points, to making sure they approve press releases before they are sent out. First and foremost, she tells me, Motion is intent on putting artists front and centre. It’s a decision that the art industry, flocking in steadily growing numbers to see the gallery's transformation with each new exhibition, can only applaud.

A exhibition of the work of Michelle Conway and Francesca Longhini runs until November 5, 2016, at Sid Motion Gallery, London.
