The free exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to explore some of Goldfrapp’s personal inspirations through the painters, film makers, illustrators and photographers who have shaped her own artistic vision.
Her selection includes traditional and contemporary artworks by internationally renowned artists such as Marcel Dzama, John Stezaker, Leonora Carrington, Jan Pienkowski and Lotte Reiniger.
The exhibition is the first instalment in The Lowry’s Performer as Curator series, in which the gallery will handpick performers to take over the space.
Michael Simpson, head of visual art and engagement at the gallery said: ‘Alison Goldfrapp was a natural first choice for us, given her remarkable synthesis of music and visual imagery. This is an exciting new venture for us and there are more collaborations in the pipeline.’
The exhibition runs from 19 October until 2 March 2014, and follows the release of new Goldfrapp album, Tales Of Us, on 9 September.
