  • Shipsey’s photographic mini-series Constitutional was published as an Open Eye Story, a project of the Open Eye Gallery (Liverpool, UK, 2022). Shipsey solo exhibition Abhaile | Homing (Belfast, UK, 2023), a series combining photographs of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, explored mixed feelings on the meaning of nationhood a century on from Irish independence. In 2026 Lane is working on new projects, among them a solo exhibition HARD SHOULDER MotorwayCity at BasementArtsProject, UK (20 May-21 June).

  • Details and Link Coming Soon

Hard Shoulder Motorway City is an exhibition of photography conceived  and created by Lane Shipsey and curated in collaboration with Bruce Davies of BasementArtsProject. The project has two strands; one exploring the urban landscapes of South Leeds and the other its inhabitants. 

The exhibition explores the impact of the once ‘futuristic’ planning policies of the 1970’s, how they are experienced by the community of those who live and work in the area, and how those policies have been altered over the years.


This Exhibition will be part of Situation Leeds happening across the city 11th -24th May
