Whilst there we were asked to create a journal throughout the week to reflect upon all the different exhibitions we visited. I decided to create a photographic journal because for me, this is the best and easiest way to remember record information.
Here's my agenda for the week:
Sunday 11th November 2012
Travel UP to Liverpool
Leave Falmouth at 14:47pm
Arrive at Liverpool at 23:43pm
Monday 12th November 2012
10:30 - All meet at The Blue Coat Art Gallery
11:30 - Independent gallery search
11:30 - Blue Coat Gallery
Jakob Kolding - Photography and Installation
John Akomfrah - Photography and Film
Sun Xun - Installation, Film, Animation, Paint
I enjoyed looking at the
13:00 - Bodies Revealedhttp://www.bodiesrevealed.org.uk/?gclid=CKv15M-ZzbMCFQzKtAod1EYA7A
Copperas Hill Building (The old post office sorting warehouse)
This was set in an old sorting factory for Post Office. It had two floors of exhibitions: The first being Bloomberg New Contemporaries, which is the leading UK organisation supporting emergent art practice from British art schools. Since 1949, Bloomberg New Contemporaries has provided a critical platform for new and recent fine art graduates primarily by means of an annual, nationally touring exhibition.
The Second floor, which I preferred, starts with the premise that the state of cities increasingly determines the future of states, City States presents thirteen exhibitions developed in response to the theme of hospitality.
These are the piece that stood out for me:
Reykjavík, Nuuk, Tórshavn
North Atlantic Pavilion
Hanni Bjartalíð, Sigurður Guðjónsson,
Jessie Kleemann
The North Atlantic Pavilion dissects the tensions at play when simultaneously embracing a strong national and regional identity – challenging surface appearances and hegemonic norms of hospitality.
Incheon
Terra Galaxia: Aerotropolis, Home and Away
Wil Bolton, Sen Chung, Kyungah Ham, Suk
Kuhn Oh, Suknam Yun, Seoung Won Won
Terra Galaxia revisits a modern definition of hospitality and its paradoxical representations in one of its most contemporary settings: an international airport, where every element projects this concept through a politically-charged prism.

Group travels back to Falmouth
I stay in Liverpool and look through some more exhibitions we didnt have time to look at.
12:30 - The Monro Building Instillation
Janine Antoni
Umbilical, 2000
Antoni’s work draws upon the complex, intimate relationship between
mother and child, and between objects and bodies. Antoni cast the
inside of her mouth, cupped around the bowl of a monographed silver
spoon, a family heirloom. At the other end is an impression of the
space within her mother’s hand. Courtesy of the artist and Luhring
Augustine Gallery, New York
Markus Kåhre
No title, 2012
The artist has conceived an inn: a welcoming and cosy environment
where slight physical and censorial shifts conjure against the peace
of mind of the guests, suggesting that the site might be haunted.
Dane Mitchell
Spectral Readings (Liverpool), 2012
Ghost Paper, 2012
Mitchell has created a wall-based work incorporating Marcel
Duchamp’s equation ‘A Guest + A Host = A Ghost’ into its
design; and a series of hollow glass objects: containers or traps
for ghost stories. The sculptures took shape and hardened as
local tales were spoken into molten glass.
13:00 - Open Eye Gallery
Kohei Yoshiyuki
The Park, 1971–79
Love Hotel, 1978
Throughout the 1970s, photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki
documented the busy night life in Tokyo parks. The resulting
photographs show the hidden side of the city; couples
and groups engaging, or watching others engage, in sexual
activity. Courtesy of the artist and Yossi Milo Gallery, New
York
