IRISH TIMES: Manchester faces uncertainty after its darkest night

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

At 10pm on Monday I walked out of the shadowy corridors of Manchester Town Hall, which had just been hosting a civic reception for Maria Balshaw, the visionary director of the Whitworth and Manchester Art Galleries, who is just about to take up work as director of the Tate.

It was a beautiful, bright, balmy evening – “Lucky this point in time and space/Is chosen as my working-place”, as Auden put it in A Summer Night – and so I went out of my way to walk around the Manchester Art Gallery before catching the 42 bus home.
