To offer a glimpse of
the work to be seen at the Ullet Grange, as part of this project,
I could mention just a few of the artists’ works and statements.
From Birgit Deubner’s 3D installation, “Journey through the Forest
with Virgil”, symbolising the “unstable, un-secured journey, the
higher one reaches on it, the more risky, the more treacherous the fall, a
journey, also, that at it’s end may lead to nothing… or to the
heavens…”, the show presents the audience with a variety of art
forms that surprise and delight one’s eye and spirit, such as Roxana
Tohaneanu-Shields’s “Liquefied Light” and “Black Madonna”,
exquisite traditional photography giclee prints; Sue Ironfield’s octagonal
acrylic paintings on wood, relating to “a new form the tradition of painting
which emulates music, with its expressive numerical language, in order to reach
a meaningful abstraction.”, but also to ‘light’ and ‘dark’;
Lynn Jackson’s 3D installation knitted from metal wire and ‘rooting’ into
the artist’s childhood memories and emotional world: ”My work compels
others to recall their own childhood sadness, loss, happiness and frailty.
These sculptures act as delicate sketches inviting the viewer to respond. It
attempts through its fragility to be vulnerable to the viewer accepting a variety
of childhood backgrounds and experiences into the work.”; Christine Oreilly
Wilson’s abstract canvases with the intensity of vibrant colours that “flood
the blank canvas “and where the “physical interaction with the
paint on canvas is a vital method of communicating” ideas and where “The
whole process is an attempt to relate the human condition by means of the pure
aesthetics of abstract colour.”; Ada Villa’s “Mosca”/”Flies”,
in relation to metaphysical idea of sunset as ‘death’, where at
sunset joins the idea of passing time and then, of old age and death… the
awareness of an inevitable end…”; Michael Meldru Medjivepjis’s “PIANO
MUSING”, “research and experimental music composition and video
production of improvisational music based on subjective release”, in
which progressively filmed, static and nostalgic piano music performance, sequences
overlap with and open into transitional spaces of Venetian night and water
rhythms; Marina Moreno’s video installation of 4 monitors in which “the
idea of displacement”, “is the essence” of the work. “Coincidentally,
another factor in this work is the use of sound, which floats within the space,
beckoning the audience, and displacing them, calling and collecting them to
the narrative moving within the space. The 4 monitors are set out on the floor
and the loops of the films are left to roll over and over while the sound is
perceived in various parts of the building and attracts the audience, leading
towards the installation. The visual presentation with the monitors at equal
distance from each other and the wires being very visible give a sense of cold
and clinical work; in total contrast with the video shown which is personal,
intimate and sensual, melting with the sounds of the bells (in particular the
Marangona). Bells function as a calling in many parts of the world. The dialect,
whispered by the various passers by, is reminiscent of a specific place and
yet still remains universal. Water symbolises a constant travelling, longing
and change, mixing. Rhythmically, the movement of the waves has the same timing
as the heart beat and the same quality of the rolling movement.”; Acitore
Artezione and the artists core group from Belfast, working with Belfast Exposed
Youth Forum, Belfast Exposed Photography projecting a collaborative “dialogue
between the Ports of Liverpool & the Ports of Belfast, People & Place
through a series of photographic actions scheduled over 12 weeks, from the
14th September – 30th November 2008.”; Nicole Bartos – configuring “a
metaphysical journey of the ‘Sun’/’Light’ in parallel,
with man’s journey to joining this trajectory and meeting with the ‘Light’.
A site specific white installation, using 29 meters of fabric, symbolising
this trajectory, together with series of photographic, wax mixed media work;
series, resulted from the previous successive land art experiments during meetings
at sunset; Joanne Ashbridge’ s and Japanese artist’s, Nagachoo
(“The chair”) live art performances, 2 very different presentations,
during 1st of November 2008; and to paintings such as “Collective Phenomena” by
artists, Fanchon Fröhlich and Alison Appleton and to the contemporary
Chinese innovative style and colour mixing of acrylic on Pi paper by Lei Liang
(China, Beijing).

Red Dot - ‘Migration’ – group
exhibition
@ Contemporary Urban Centre, Liverpool
Liverpool visual
arts organisation, Red Dot are staging an exhibition over the
Christmas and New Year period on the theme of migration.
It will take place in the Connolly Gallery in the impressive setting of the Contemporary
Urban Centre building based on Greenland Street in the Baltic Triangle area of
Liverpool.
Over 20 members of Red Dot will present many diverse themes and aspects of migration
through painting, photography, multi-media installations, sound installations,
lighting installations and sculpture.
These themes and aspects of migration will be related, among others, to the movement
of people across land boundaries due to war or famine; the plight of refugees
or asylum seekers who have had to flee their country of origin as a result of
state oppression: the mass movement of people to another land on a permanent
basis, for example, the Irish to the Americas; and the passage of animals, fish,
insects and birds from one region to another for feeding or breeding purposes.
Artists taking part are Jane Fairhurst, Alison Bailey Smith, Sue Milburn,
Colin Serjent, Susan Sharples, Christine Wilson, Eimear Kavanagh, Leon Jakeman,

"WELCOME TO THE
UNION"
CONTEMPORARY ROMANIA IN THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT
with Dr Mike Phillips OBE and Guests: Dr
Alex Drace-Francis,
Dr Wendy Webster, and Dr Ruxandra Trandafoiu
Friday 14 November 2008
19.00, @ The Contemporary Urban Centre, 41-51 Greenland Street,
Liverpool L1 0BS
Tel. 0151 708 3510.
Free Entry. Further details from mail@profusion.org.uk
Welcome to the Union is part of the Romanian Connections programme, the first major exercise in promoting Romania in North West England. Romanian Connections is centred on two theatre shows of the ‘Radu Stanca’ National Theatre of Sibiu (see full programme at www.romanianculturalcentre.org.uk/connections). In order to create the basis of a better understanding of the richness of the Romanian cultural phenomena, The Ratiu Foundation / Romanian Cultural Centre in London, in partnership with ProFusion International Creative Consultancy, have initiated a series of connected events, of which this debate on contemporary Romania is the first.
Dr Mike Phillips OBE, Dr Alex Drace-Francis (University of Liverpool), Dr Wendy Webster (University of Central Lancashire), and Dr Ruxandra Trandafoiu (Edge Hill University) tackle the issues of contemporary Romania in the European context in front of a Liverpudlian audience. Join us for a fascinating and important debate.
“The status of Capital of Culture has become a new icon of European culture, a display window for European identity. On the other hand, current rhetoric about culture and the arts ignores a myriad of issues and problems, notably the cultural role and identity of accession states like Romania.
The problem is that the process by which the accession states have entered membership has been discussed in terms largely dominated by politics and economics. In the last two years the issue of migration has moved to centre stage, but, once again, its importance has been framed in economic terms. In the meantime the cultures on both sides of the continent continue to be misunderstood and misrepresented, as if the closer the two parties approach, the more obscure and difficult their true natures become. Even more interesting the invention of mythologies about the nation become more and more frenzied as each one feels the impact of the other.
The case of Romania and the EU is the platform for this discussion, which sidesteps the fog of acquisition and competition, and takes the understanding and exploration of cultural faultlines as its starting point. How do we understand the history of cultural interaction and what does it mean? In cultural terms, which is more important - an encounter with a migrant worker, or the high profile artist tour? What do we believe (or more important, what do we feel) about each other? How do these attitudes affect, migrants and migration, political and social responses and the culture of Europe as a whole?” - Mike Phillips

century to the present. His articles, chapters and reviews
on Romanian and Balkan history, literature and identity have
appeared in a wide variety of periodicals and reference works.
DR WENDY WEBSTER
Wendy Webster is Professor of Contemporary British history and
works particularly on questions of gender, ‘race’,
ethnicity, imperialism and national identity. She teaches a
number of modules in these areas and welcomes enquiries from
research students interested in exploring any of these questions,
or the history of post-war British film.
Her major recent project, funded by research leave from the
AHRB, was on the impact of loss of empire on British and English
culture
and identity. Published as Englishness and Empire 1939-1965 (Oxford
University Press, 2005), it won the prize for the best work in
the field of media and history from the International Association
for Media and History in 2006. The judges commended Englishness
and Empire as ‘an engaging history of the relationship
between the British people and their Empire during the years
of transformation, 1939-65, as seen through the prism of the
media … It is an excellent example of the value of media
evidence for historians and will remain a standard text for years
to come’. Wendy was presented with the prize at the IAMHIST
conference in Amsterdam in July 2007, where she gave a plenary
address.
Wendy is currently a Leverhulme Research Fellow, working on a
project on ‘Englishness and Europe, 1940-1973’ which
explores the significance of Europe to English identity in the
period from Dunkirk to Britain's entry into the EEC. She is also
reviews editor for Women’s History Review, and a member
of its editorial board.
DR RUXANDRA TRANDAFOIU
Dr Ruxandra Trandafoiu teaches media and communication at Edge
Hill University. A former journalist in Romania, she left the
country in 1997 to pursue several postgraduate research projects
at Central European University, the University of Edinburgh
and Westminster University, culminating with a PhD charting
the link between the national press and nationalist ideologies.
Her main research interests are diasporic communication, online
social networks, globalisation culture and identity, the post-communist
transition and the European Union. She is currently co-writing
a book on globalization culture and media and also working
on a British Academy funded project researching the communicative
and political potential of online diasporic networks in Europe
and North America. Recent publications and conference papers
have also focused on the issue of European identity and Euroscepticism.

'Art in the Car Park'
Private View on Thursday (9th), 6-9pm.
'Art in
the Car Park', Liverpool As part of the Liverpool Biennial
2008 Friday 10th
October – Sunday 19th
October CCP Car Park, Duke Street, L1 5AA Art in the
Car Park is a diverse group show in response to the CCP
Car Park, Liverpool. The result is a body of new artwork
that weaves into the social, economic, political, historical
and geographical situation of the site and the city at
large. In the 80s, CCP Car Park, based in the heart of
Liverpool, housed the offices of a car-sales business.
After it was abandoned, it remained dormant in the portfolio
of property developers until its rehabilitation by The
Art Organisation (TAO) this year. TAO respond to the
unique situation of a city in regeneration, negotiating
the use of empty buildings for use as rich and compelling
temporary space for artists and art. Liverpool is an
801-year-old city with a unique story. The intractable
relationship between Liverpool's maritime successes,
heavy bombing in WWII, slave history, diverse religious
demographics, extraordinary cultural diversity and long
economic decline make for a city loaded with ambiguous
social history. It provides fertile ground for creative
commentary at the CCP Car Park. Says co-Curator Hannah
Hull: "Coming from London, Liverpool feels like
a breath of fresh air for our artists. Liverpool is a
receptive place to be making art right now. There is
an artistic freedom here. We are excited to have this
opportunity to respond creatively to such a rich environment."
Curators Hannah Hull, Iavor Lubomirov and Jordan Dalladay-Simpson
are dedicated to allowing artists freedom to create
work in a range of challenging situations that are
relevant to their practice. Working in partnership
with TAO, they invited artists to match themselves
to this opportunity via an open brief. This allowed
an 'auto-curation' of site, producing work that could
not happen anywhere else.
Private View Thursday 9th October 6pm-9pm Open to public

New work

@The Green Street
357 Smithdown Road
10 – 5 pm Mon – Sat
Private view Sat 11th Oct 6-8pm
‘ If clothing could speak, what would be revealed’
We all have a significant memory that involves a special
item or outfit, through the work the artist is investigating
and challenging our perceptions and our relationship
with our clothing.
In this new work Caroline is exploring the meaning, memory,
experience and value left in our favourite or special
items of clothing, and the time, repition and ritual
of the making process.
The work explores not only our personal memories attached to garments but the
physicality and intimacy of wearing clothing, and the history embedded into the
garment during the making process.

Art
in the Car Park, Liverpool
As part of the Liverpool Biennial 2008
Friday 10th
October – Sunday
19th October
CCP Car Park, Duke Street, L1 5AA
Art in the Car Park is a diverse group show in response to the CCP Car Park, Liverpool. The result is a body of new artwork that weaves into the social, economic, political, historical and geographical situation of the site and the city at large.
In the 80s, CCP Car Park, based in the heart of Liverpool, housed the offices of a car-sales business. After it was abandoned, it remained dormant in the portfolio of property developers until its rehabilitation by The Art Organisation (TAO) this year. TAO respond to the unique situation of a city in regeneration, negotiating the use of empty buildings for use as rich and compelling temporary space for artists and art.
Liverpool is an 801-year-old city with a unique story. The intractable relationship between Liverpool’s maritime successes, heavy bombing in WWII, slave history, diverse religious demographics, extraordinary cultural diversity and long economic decline make for a city loaded with ambiguous social history. It provides fertile ground for creative commentary at the CCP Car Park.
Says co-Curator Hannah Hull: “Coming from London, Liverpool feels like a breath of fresh air for our artists. Liverpool is a receptive place to be making art right now. There is an artistic freedom here. We are excited to have this opportunity to respond creatively to such a rich environment.”
Curators Hannah Hull, Iavor Lubomirov and Jordan Dalladay-Simpson are dedicated to allowing artists freedom to create work in a range of challenging situations that are relevant to their practice. Working in partnership with TAO, they invited artists to match themselves to this opportunity via an open brief. This allowed an ‘auto-curation’ of site, producing work that could not happen anywhere else.

WATERMARKS VIRTUAL EXHIBITION OPENING
http://www.uavm.net/english/exhibits/fonlad.html
http://www.uavm.net/english/exhibits/watermarks/watermarks.html
The watermark, more than a name, symbol or signature
of the artist, is a process underlying copyright. With
the mass proliferation of images over the internet (apparently
in an uncontrollable unruly manner) the watermark seems
to bring means to an artistic form of protection.
Apparently nothing can prevent the copying of images
on the net. Even protected software (such as Flash, which
prevents copying) can always be bypassed with the print-screen
of the page.
But the found ways to curb hacking (with blurred images
and watermarks) only remove an essential component to
the image: the authenticity.
This brings to the images a second level: more than the
status of works of art, watermarks brings virtuality to
them.
The watermark explains that what you see is not genuine.
And so no longer interesting.
But the watermark can be artistic. The UAVM Virtual Museum
presents 10 works of 10 artists who have focused on this
issue: Chia (Taiwan), Gianny Sutera (IT), Gruppo Sinestético
(IT), Henry Gwiazda (USA), Ida Julsen (Norway), Joseph
Jinson (India), Mike Davies (UK), Rui Fonseca (BR), Sarah
Boothroyd (Canada), Sebastien Seifert (Spain).
Digital watermarking is the process of embedding information into a digital signal.
The signal may be audio, pictures or video, for example. If the signal is copied,
then the information is also carried in the copy.
In visible watermarking, the information is visible in the picture or video.
Typically, the information is text or a logo which identifies the owner of the
media. When a television broadcaster adds its logo to the corner of transmitted
video, this is also a visible watermark.
In invisible watermarking, information is added as digital data to audio, picture
or video, but it cannot be perceived as such. An important application of invisible
watermarking is to copyright protection systems, which are intended to prevent
or deter unauthorized copying of digital media. Steganography is an application
of digital watermarking, where two parties communicate a secret message embedded
in the digital signal. Annotation of digital photographs with descriptive information
is another application of invisible watermarking.
While some
file formats for digital media can contain additional
information called metadata, digital watermarking is
distinct in that the data is carried in the signal
itself.
The use of the word of watermarking is derived from the much older notion of
placing a visible watermark on paper.
