Lee Holden: Universal Bridge

15 March - 30 August 2025
10am - 4.30pm
Free to all

A solo exhibition by Lee Holden, winner of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2022/23.

Universal Bridge is a site-specific installation focusing upon the “mindset”, technology and infrastructure of governance, as well as the potential consequences of resistance to enforced technological change. The piece sets up a complex dialogue between, on the one hand, authority, progress, and control and, on the other, sabotage, disruption, and critique.

Using a vast array of found, collected and reconfigured materials alongside specifically-sourced instruments and tools, Holden has transformed Bury Art Museum’s Sculpture Center to suggest a military or government research station devoted to clandestine activities of dubious intent. Something very disturbing has happened here: an irreversible accident or transgressive intrusion has already taken place.

The MTSA is one of the most significant awards for emerging UK artists working in the field of sculpture. It seeks to reward outstanding and innovative practice, with a particular interest in work that demonstrates a commitment to process, or sensitivity to material.
