Launching tonight!
Liverpool has loads of cultural offerings kicking off tonight, here we break them down for you…
Open Eye Gallery, 6-8pm
Please join us for the launch of our latest exhibition, Jerwood/Photoworks Awards 2015. At 6pm, Tereza Zelenkova and Matthew Finn will be speaking about their projects on display at Open Eye Gallery.
The Jerwood/Photoworks Awards are for artists using photography as a core part of their work. Supported by a group of mentors, the first award winners, Joanna Piotrowska, Tereza Zelenkova & Matthew Finn were given £5,000 to contribute towards creating new work.
Joanna Piotrowska’s work explores anxiety and the effects of global and political events on the individual. Tereza Zelenkova has travelled to her native Czech Republic to explore themes of history, local legend and folklore. Matthew Finn has been photographing his mother in a series of collaborative portraits since 1987.
