Biennial Fringe Programme

Spectra

 

Public Participation:
Friday 8 July 2016, 6pm-8pm
Saturday 9 July 2016, 11:30am-4:30pm
Sunday 10 July 2016, 11:30am-4:30pm

Installation Dates:
9 July – 16 October 2016

London based artists Walter & Zoniel invite you to help them create a new Wall Work installation, Spectra.

Open Eye Gallery will be transformed as the artists invite the public to launch paint directly at the outside wall using catapults!

The interactive artwork uses elements key to Walter & Zoniel’s practice including fun, surrealism and transforming buildings that are familiar to us.

The installation creates a sense of mischief, and explores its relationship to inspiration and creativity. By crossing the lines of what is normally allowed, those interacting with the work are, for a moment, set free of some of the constraints of the everyday.

Get involved and help Walter & Zoniel create this new installation!

In collaboration with Gazelli Art House.

Tromarama

Exhibition Dates:
9-31 July 2016 / Tuesday-Sunday / 10am-6pm

Address:
Apartment 603, One Park West, 31 Strand Street, Liverpool, L1 8LN
(Please ring the doorbell and you will be shown up to the apartment)

As part of our Biennial Fringe Programme, Indonesian collective Tromarama exhibit for the first time in the UK in the unusual setting of a private residential apartment.

Widely considered one of Indonesia’s most exciting rising talents, Tromaramaprovide an exploration of how the digital world redefines our existential existence. Formed in 2006 by Febie Babyrose, Herbert Hans Maruli and Ruddy Hatumena and graduating from the Institute of Technology in Bandung, the three are among the first generation of artists who were confronted with the impact of the digital revolution in Indonesia during the early 2000s. This exhibition presents a selection of recent animations and lenticular prints, as well as a new work, which was created especially for the occasion.

The exhibition features animations that combine HD photographs of animated objects, such as shoes, suitcases, desk lights and wires, with images of the urban Indonesian landscape. Although each work exists in a seemingly foreign public sphere elsewhere in the world, it interacts with a private one that we, the audience, all possess ourselves. They activate otherwise impossible narratives within a domestic space, behind a closet, through a bedroom window, inside a kitchen cupboard. A new work highlights the playfulness of tea making, an otherwise mundane and joyful ritual undertaken countless times in everyone’s daily lives in the UK.

Play, in the sense of ‘fresh, intriguing and humorous’ pulsates through the body of Tromarama’s practice, which combines video animation with music and installation. Each work, rather than existing in viewership isolation, is woven into the larger social fabric of the things we do both inside and outside our homes.

At the heart of Tromarama’s practice is the creation of an inclusive narrative through the use of form and colour, objects and figures, sounds and rhythms. Each work literally animates the ordinary and weaves its existence into a tale of tribulations fuelled by consequence. As such, their work infuses the ordinary with novel means of contemplation in the context of urban life, developments and political reverberations.

This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Open Eye Gallery with support by Edouard Malingue Gallery.

Telling Tales

Exhibition Dates:
6-11 July 2016, 10am-6pm

Address:
45-61 Duke Street, Liverpool, L1 5AP

As part of our Biennial Fringe Programme, Thomas Dukes has curated an exhibition of work from seven artists from the Royal College of Art.

The featured artists make use of photography, text, moving image, sculpture and sound to delve into the recreation of experience.

The work takes as its subject ideas around, and expressions of, emotion and experience – two areas that are considered personal. But these experiences are subject to an increasingly connected world, one in which we are encouraged to share as much of our lives with groups from close family to complete strangers.

The projects on display reconsider how we express these aspects of experience in society. The personal becomes stages (and in some cases re-staged) in moments of reflection, online and through art.
