Video: Danny Ryder, Open 3: Affecting Change
For this project, artist Danny Ryder turned Open Eye Gallery’s upstairs space into a fully functioning recreation of News From Nowhere, Liverpool’s radical independent bookshop.
As well as original images of the shop, the installation also features a wide range of radical, feminist and children’s literature, available to browse and buy. All books were hand-selected by News From Nowhere staff.
This project evolved from the idea of ‘useful art’; art that serves an immediate civic function. The work is on show as part of Open 3: Affecting Change until 17th September.
