It may be another four months until Manchester's £210m new arts centre will officially open to the public, but this morning the ground floor of the vast cultural space welcomed visitors as the 2023 edition of Manchester International Festival got underway.
A major exhibition of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s spectacular inflatable was unveiled this morning (Thursday) and gave visitors the opportunity to explore the flagship new home of Factory International, Aviva Studios, ahead of its official opening in October.
'You, Me and the Balloons' by Kusama has taken over the vast warehouse space of the building, and is inviting audiences to take an exhilarating journey through the artist's psychedelic creations, most of which have not been seen before in the UK.
