Mike Absalom
My Irish Eyes on Liverpool Again
'After
a lifetime roaming the globe as a successful singer/songwriter,
Mike Absalom
returned to his roots in Ireland and has become a successful
artist, painting the people and places of his family’s
past.
This year he set off from his studio in County Mayo on
a pilgrimage to visit and paint some of the other places
that once played a significant part in his life, to see
how they had changed and to find out how he felt about
them and himself forty years on.
Liverpool, on its 800th birthday, was one of these places
and his journey he has yielded stunning meditations on
place and identity. Expressions of a past that remains,
soaked into the stones, ready to remind of what once
was, but also suggest what might be.'

Matei Bejenaru, Travelling Guide, 2006
Matei Bejenaru, currently artist-in-residence at the
Romanian Cultural Institute in London, takes part in
the Tate Modern group exhibition The Irresistible Force.

lives, as cultural values and traditions are realigned
by global capitalism.

Tim Davis, Claire Fontaine, Mika Rottenberg, Michael
Stevenson and Judi Werthein. The exhibition is curated
by Ben Borthwick and Kerryn Greenberg.
Matei Bejenaru's contribution is a Travelling Guide
which includes information about the Romanian nationals
who attempted to work illegally in the UK before Romania
joined the EU. The work was shown in 2006 at Thyssen-Bornemisza
Contemporary Art in Vienna and in 2007 at the Prague
Biennial 3 and at the Galeria Posibila in Bucharest.
Matei Bejenaru is a visual artist and the founder and
artistic director of Periferic Biennial in Iasi, Romania.
His art projects in recent years have focused on the
situation of Romanian nationals who live and work abroad.

Cath Ball
Nicole Bartos

Laura Hughes

Making Stuff is such an exciting exhibition,
because, not only does it represent a diverse
a range of contemporary craft practices but
it presents artists who are using their craft
to
be both technically and conceptually innovative.
All ten artists have an exploratory approach
to their practice seeking to push the boundaries
of their craft to produce decorative and
functional art objects and I believe that the
work on
show reveals the exciting interface between
craft and design.
We hope that you have been inspired by the
diversity of contemporary ceramics, textiles
and jewellery
making represented in Making Stuff and that
you will continue to draw enjoyment and inspiration
from the work on show for the final two weeks

"Qi gong is also known as Chi Kung, or Kiko in Japanese. Qi gong is the ancient Chinese art of energy training or practice. "Qi" (Chi) means energy and "gong" (Kung) means work or practice. In China it is used in traditional hospitals and clinics to treat a wide range of conditions from arthritis to cancer. Millions also do qi gong exercises to boost vitality, to insure against disease or to fight chronic conditions. Its energy methods are also an integral part of Tai Chi, many martial disciplines, as well as Taoist and Buddhist practices. In the West qi gong has only recently become known (over the last 20 years), but it may be the oldest of all the Chinese healing arts with roots tracing back over thousands of years. Other Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) members include acupuncture, T'un-na (a predecessor to Japanese Shiatsu) and herbal medicine." (extract from: "Qi gong: An Introduction" by Christopher Caile.

has yet to be seen; work that deserves to be
seen by a wider audience--work that has the ability to
change the current creative landscape. Therefore, we
decided to create a vehicle for facilitating contact
between uniquely talented artists and an international
audience. Thus...London International Creative Competition
(L.I.C.C.). The chosen artists will be awarded with an
exhibition in London and will be featured in the high-quality

BBB Johannes Deimling: Don’t
Hurt Me (durational performance)
John Bock: Kleinodtotsod (video)
Cornerhouse, 70 Oxford Road, Manchester M1 5NH |
www.cornerhouse.org
German artist BBB Johannes Deimling’s work often
involves the physical attachment of objects to his
body to unsettling effect. These Acted Images evoke
unconscious fears using an undercurrent of bizarre
humour. For his performance, Deimling will make interventions
into the public spaces of the Cornerhouse building,
enacting his performance Don’t Hurt Me.
Deimling’s invoking of the uncanny through
the abject is echoed by Kleinodtotsod, a video
work by
John Bock that hints at the malevolent nature of
domestic space. Kleinodtotsod will be installed
as a large-scale
looped projection in the Cornerhouse gallery for
the duration of the day.

"Summer of love"
@SouthBohemia Gallery, Smithdown Road, Liverpool
click
here to view enlarged
leaflet
Featuring Marjana Wjasnova, David Hinnebusch, Joseph Brown, Daiva Gauryte, Nicole Bartos, plus others.
Research Information:
The Summer of Love was the summer of 1967, particularly
in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where
thousands of young people loosely and freely united
for a new social experience. As a result, the hippie
counterculture movement came into public awareness.
The beginning of the Summer of Love has popularly been
attributed to the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park on
January 14, 1967. The size of that event awakened mass
media to the hippie counterculture that was blossoming
in the Haight-Ashbury. The movement was fed by the counterculture's
own media, particularly The San Francisco Oracle, whose
pass-around readership topped a half-million at its peak
that year. The grassroots street theater/activism of
The Diggers also garnered media attention.
College and high school students began streaming into
the Haight on their spring break of 1967. City government
leaders, determined to stop the influx of young people
once schools let out for summer, brought added attention
to the scene. An ongoing series of articles in local
papers alerted national media to the hippies' growing
momentum. That spring, Haight community leaders responded
by forming the Council of the Summer of Love, giving
the word-of-mouth event an official-sounding name
John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas took 20 minutes
to write the following lyrics for the song "San
Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)":
If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some
flowers in your hair... If you're going to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there".
Scott McKenzie's recording of the song was released in
May 1967. The song was designed originally to promote
the June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, the world's first
major rock festival, which was attended by over 200,000
people. "San Francisco" became an instant hit
(#4 in the U. S., #1 in the U.K.) and quickly transcended
its original purpose.
Album cover, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandThe
evolution of The Beatles and their music also contributed
to the global impact of the Summer of Love. The Beatles'
album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released
on June 1, 1967, in Europe and two days later in the
U.S. With its psychedelic influences, Indian instrumentals,
vivid album cover and drug references, it encapsulated
the very essence of the Summer of Love.
The Beatles had moved beyond their "moptop" era,
and on June 25, 1967, their song "All You Need Is
Love" was heard around the world as part of the "Our
World" radio broadcast, further emphasizing the
countercultural ideals of love, freedom, and unity.

Education and Outreach
A Triangle Arts Trust Workshop
A Foundation hosts: COAST
In 1999 and 2001 two
UK international artists workshops took place near Barmouth in
North Wales. These workshops, called Cyfuniad
were co-ordinated by Lin Holland and Becky Shaw, together with
a working group of artists, primarily based in Liverpool. The
two Cyfuniad Workshops collectively brought together more that
45 artists
from around the globe to live and work together for periods of
two weeks.
The workshops had a profound impact upon many of the participants
and their practices and led to Liverpool artists being invited
to India, South Africa and Brazil for residencies and further collaborative
experiences. Cyfuniad is part of a global network of workshops
based on the Triangle workshop model which over the past 24 years
has extended to more that 30 countries world-wide, with more that
3,500 artists participating.
The 2007 Liverpool workshop titled COAST, will see 25 artists,
15 from around the world living and working in Liverpool for
two weeks. The workshop will be based in The Furnace and Blade
Factory Buildings on Greenland Street and will culimnate
in an open day where members of the public will be invited
to meet the artists
and see work produced.
Discussion - Wednesday 15 August 2007 from 19.00 - 21.00

The Art Organisation Liverpool
Invites you to Wolstenholme Projects Up&Coming Show
'Eyes, Lies & Stories'
In an arena familiar with the grab of the grand aesthetic, 'Eyes, Lies and Stories' focuses on the playing out of basic illusory effects and knowing lies in the production of some art-experiences. The exhibition plays on the mechanisms that urge a conscious suspension of disbelief in the spectator, upon the construction of a possible agreement that encourages more active engagement in the processing of experience and artistic narratives.
This project takes inspiration from incomplete simulations, in the acknowledgement of the concerned artist(ic) imposter, and in situations where anxieties about the unreliability of vision can be accepted as a starting point.
Highlighting the necessity to go along with trickery within artistic experience can reflect the usage of lies in encouraging engagement with reality (think dramatic narratives used in fly on the wall documentaries), and through letting the spectator in on the pretence/staging, a refusal to alienate that spectator's power to act/react is asserted.
The show aims to bring together artists, whose practice engages in some of these issues of trickery or sleight of hand, employing these methods as a point of departure offering alternative takes on experience.
Featuring works by Savinder Bual, Karen Logan, Karen McLeod, Jamie Moakes, Alix Poscharsky, and Brychan Tudor.
'Eyes, Lies & Stories' will launch on Friday the 10th of August, this show also features live performances from 6.30pm until 9.30pm. Running until Sunday 26th August. Opening times 12-6pm Thursday to Sunday.
