New
exhibitions by Jane Fairhurst
Red Dot member Jane Fairhurst stages a solo show, titled
'Transition', at Gallery Oldham during the summer.
For over a century artists have used found objects and everyday
items not normally considered as art, to inspire new transitions
in their work. In this exhibition Jane exploits the availability
of mass-produced children's toys to explore themes of current
affairs, global politics and the environment.
Placing a new twist on the traditional children's toy, she
uses brightly coloured toys to create mixed media sculptures.
Darkly entertaining, the artworks play on different emotions,
creating an exhibition that will be both humorous and sinister.
As well as the transition of items from real life to art,
the exhibition title also refers to the development of Jane's
move to collaborative practice with fellow artist, Tim Fielding.
Fairhurst_Fielding won the West Lancashire Art Prize in 2009
with their mixed media city sculpture, 'Zing Xong'.
Transition runs from 24th July until 5th September. Mon-Sat
10am - 5pm. Sun 10am - 4pm.
Gallery Oldham
is based in the Cultural Quarter in Greaves Street.
Along with Tim Fielding, Jane is then exhibiting as part
of the 'DIY Integrated City' during the 2010 Liverpool Arts
Biennial. |
Serjent
in Unity 30th Anniversary Exhibition
Colin Serjent has been asked to take part in a special exhibition
at the Unity Theatre in Liverpool. To mark the 30th anniversary
of being in their building on Hope Place (off Hope Street),
all of the artists who have exhibited in the theatre complex
over the past 20 years will be showing one piece of their
artwork.
The exhibition runs from 7th September till 20th October
2010. |
Focus
On Recycling
Red Dot member Colin Serjent staged a photography exhibition
depicting various recycling projects in Liverpool.
Examples of recycling he portrayed include the work of C.U.T.S
(Communal Use Textile Studio), run by Beccy Williams, who
stages workshops of sewing and screen-printing using recycled
materials; Bulky Bob, which offer a household waste collection
service to residents in Liverpool, which are then reconditioned
and sold at reasonable costs; and Urban Strawberry Lunch,
who create musical instruments from waste materials and found
objects.
He depicted the role of Red Dot in promoting recycling, for
example, showing images of the two Recycling Weeks they have
staged in the city in 2008 and 2009, as well as the workshops,
where the participants made artwork from recycled items, and
exhibitions they held, in which all the artwork was produced
from disused materials.
Other proponents of recycling he featured in his exhibition
include Pop Boutique, based in Whitechapel - who sell clothing
created from recycled fabrics; the Moocha Lounge - who serve
hot drinks in cups made from renewable resources; Otterspool
Household Waste Recycling Centre; and Valley Fields Environmental
Services.
Focus on Recycling took place at the Liverpool Centre for
Arts Development (LCAD) from 26 April to 11 June 2010. |
Art Is
For Everyone
Red Dot staged an art project for young disabled people during
May/June 2010 at the Liverpool Centre for Arts Development
(LCAD). Titled 'Art Is For Everyone', it consisted of six
workshops, providing participants the opportunity to learn
a basic introduction to visual art techniques. Subjects covered
were animation, collage, mosaics, drawing, sculpture and jewellery.
An exhibition was then held featuring all the artwork created
in the workshops running from Monday 17th May to Friday 21st
May. |
Colin
Serjent in Biennial exhibition
Colin is taking part in a photography exhibition, titled
'School Of Photography', during the 2010 Liverpool Arts Biennial.

and Frank Meaney. Other photographers will be asked to participate
in the show.
It will be held at the Merchant Taylor's Girls' School in
Crosby, which has a dedicated space for exhibitions. |
Wendy
Williams exhibitions in 2010
My work centres around the environment - how we treat it,
and the way it responds back. I am greatly concerned about
how we pollute the landscape with man-made materials.
Recognising that the average carrier bag may take up to a
thousand years to decompose, I set out to reuse the discarded
waste.
For the 2010 Liverpool Arts Biennial, I will be exhibiting
at The Gallery, Stanhope St. Liverpool, Blackburne House,
at METAL Edge Hill Railway Station and at Tate Liverpool. |
