“I love the garnish in a cocktail. Whether it’s a booze-soaked olive or a ridiculous burnt rind of orange, the accompaniments all SCREAM fancy! Because that’s what a cocktail is, it’s being fancy. Sometimes, that slice of cucumber in the bottom of the glass is your only meal. I’m imagining the end of an evening, where the glasses aren’t cleared away… and that’s when the party starts for the vermin.” Lindsey Mendick
Mendick’s The Beginning of the End is designed with the cocktail the ‘Cockroach’ in mind.

40 Years of the Future: Editions
In collaboration with Ryan Gander OBE RA (Castlefield Gallery Artist Patron), to mark Castlefield Gallery’s 40 year anniversary, we are delighted to present a new collection of limited-edition artworks.
40 Years of the Future: Editions are a limited series of beautifully engraved cocktail shakers, created with a group of celebrated, award-winning artists, who at the invitation of Ryan Gander have donated their designs in support of Castlefield Gallery.
40 Years of the Future: Editions artists are:
Ryan Gander OBE RA, Joy Division and Peter Saville CBE, Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA, Shezad Dawood, Lindsey Mendick, Simeon Barclay and Hannah Perry.
The new editions were first revealed at Soho House x Castlefield Gallery, 40 Years of the Future: Lates, an event that brought together, in conversation, artists Ryan Gander, Peter Saville, Shezad Dawood, Hannah Perry and Simeon Barclay. At the event Gander shared his love of cocktails and his reasons for proposing a series of cocktail shakers. This included thoughts on cocktails – from how the invention of and mixing of them is akin to a creative act, to how they are often used to mark a moment. We are pleased to share with you an exciting opportunity, to be some of the first to collect new art from this exclusive and extraordinary limited-edition series.
