Tony Trehy is a text-poet and art curator based in manchester, UK

"Make it new! Tony Trehy is driven in every aspect of his practice to innovation and new ways of thinking and working. Whether it is in curation of contemporary art – across multiple artforms, dance, public art, exhibitions, poetry, music – his internationally recognised poetics, development of museum services and concepts, community based creative engagement, or advisory services and consultancy in the cultural sector.

Trehy’s track record includes more than a decade of public art commissioning and the origination of the Irwell Sculpture Trail in north Manchester. Uniquely positioned as a poet and curator, he was able to establish the Text Festival which brings together contemporary linguistically innovative poetry with conceptual art practices in a remarkable, internationally recognised, space of dialogue, sharing and experimentation in the field of creative language art. His lead role in this new cross-artform resulted in a shortlist for his proposal of the Language Moment for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. The Language Moment promises to be an historic new definition of contemporary art practice; now separated from the Olympics, the Moment continues to draw partners and artists from all over the world in a commitment to the new.
