In a BANG ON very special episode, we chat with Gina Warburton, Curator at The Whitaker Museum, straight from the STASHED exhibition space.

STASHED presents the personal art collection of Short Supply. As long as they’ve been artists, they’ve been collectors.

Open: 15th November - 23rd February 2025
(Wed - Sun 10am - 4pm, Thurs 10am - 8pm)

The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery
Whitaker Park, Haslingden Road
BB4 6RE

“These are the things we can’t take our eyes off, the art we want to hold in our hands, the things we want to make sure don’t end up in a skip.”

STASHED asks why more artists don’t consider themselves collectors, and what would happen if they did? Riffing off the Cabinet of Curiosities and bringing their living room to life in the gallery, this exhibition invites you to consider what you’ve got stashed in the attic, and questions how the art market really works (among friends making birthday gifts and swapping zines for paintings).

Episode 12 - Our Season 2 finale. We speak to Hetain Patel, a prolific full-time artist with a diverse 20 year career.

We chat about his experiences over the last 20 years, what motivated him to just keep making... and it would be criminal if we didn't talk a litte bit about Spiderman.

Motivational, uplifting and always real, we hope you enjoy this bumper finale episode of BANG ON! Hetain Patel is an English visual artist specialising in performance, sculpture, video, and photography. His work has been exhibited in Norway, India, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. In addition to sci-fi and mainstream-influenced works (including work associated with pop-culture superheroes such as Spider-Man), Patel experiments with addressing problems of multiculturalism and self-acceptance.

Research and development, what the hell is all that about?

We chat about the art of research, remembering our time at uni and what research means for us now. Whether you went to uni or not yourself, we explore how to make it easy, how to pick it up again when you feel lost and all the bits in between!
