It Requires Getting Lost brings together three invited artists working in the North of England – Gregory Herbert, Malik Jama and Jocelyn McGregor – to work in dialogue with one another and in response to major works from one of the UK’s most significant private collections, the David and Indrė Roberts Collection (managed by RIA).

These major works – including pieces by Wolfgang Tillmans, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Pierre Huyghe – were co-selected by all involved and will be featured in the exhibition.

It Requires Getting Lost will invite us to wander amongst art works that encourage us to be at ease with the unknown and to embrace the unfamiliar offerings of our natural world.

It Requires Getting Lost from 1 November 2025 to 22 February 2026 at Castlefield Gallery
