Swimming Without Water is a contemporary art exhibition in Moseley Road Baths, which I think it’s fair to say, is not your usual art venue. New works have been commissioned for the non-gallery space and they will be on show between 18th February and 15th March. Here’s some more info:
The artists, Debbie Akam, Flora Gare, and Tim Skinner, are working to bind their works with this glorious, historic building, to re-enliven it, to repopulate it through an engagement with the building and the audience (both swimmers and non-swimmers from Moseley Road and beyond) through the medium of art.

Its great to see Moseley Baths being used for thisexhibition. However, it seems a pity that given new work was commissioned, and whilst there are plenty of local artists who could have benefited from this show, none of the artists are from Birmingham or the Midlands?
