From Culturepool..

All Mouth and No Ballot

We just heard about this fab event and thought there’s no way we can miss it…

Instead of staying in when the election results start coming in this Thursday 6th May, why not join us for a great night of cabaret, satire and comedy presented by the Riders of the Ruby Moon and performed by over 20 local artists reacting to the general election live.

Patrick Dineen (Composer King Cotton; Liverpool Empire & 08 People’s Opening), Artistic Director of Riders of the Ruby Moon says it all…

“Liverpool is a political city, this is a very important election, which promises to be a dramatic and theatrical experience. We wanted to create an evening of cabaret acts and live broadcast of the election for the people of Liverpool as it has never been done before! It’s a unique one off!”

We’ve never done anything like this before but we can’t think of a more inventive way to spend a general election. See below for full details…

What: All Mouth and No Ballot
When: Thu 06/05/2010, 9.30pm
Where: The Static Gallery, 23 Roscoe Lane, Liverpool City Centre, L1 9JD (map)
Who: Riders of The Ruby Moon
How: Quote ‘culturepool’ when calling 0844 873 2888 or email/drop in to The Unity Theatre to get your £7.50 tickets.

Riders of the Ruby Moon invite you to Party with Conviction as they bring a unique election night cabaret to the Static Gallery on Thursday May 6th. The All Mouth And No Ballot Party promises to be an all night long movable feast of scandalous drama, sleaze, live music, songs, satire, vegetables, original films,…

Artist Trevor Morgan Selected for Residency Programme

Liverpool Biennial have announced the selection of Trevor Morgan as the first artist-in-residence in Liverpool supported by the Australia Council for the Arts.

Liverpool is one of 10 cities worldwide to host an Australia Council for the Arts International Residency, the other cities being Barcelona, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, Rome, Helsinki and Tokyo.

The 3-month residency is hosted by Liverpool Biennial and includes a studio based at Static Trading. The artists will work alongside Liverpool Biennial’s programme of art commissions in the city.

Trevor Morgan uses video and photography to explore the concepts of home, dislocation and body spatiality as he journeys through urban spaces. He has developed a unique ‘Personal Documentation Unit’ (PDU) that comprises five small CCTV cameras sown into a hat, that function as a 360° memory capture device.

During his time in Liverpool he will use this technology to explore different neighbourhoods and central gathering points in the city to produce 2-D and 3-D video models.

Via Liverpool Biennial…

Austrian Artist Karl-Heinz Klopf ‘s YOU’RE HAVING A LAUGH: a great night out comes to symbolise artist’s picture of Liverpool

For the past five months Austrian artist Karl-Heinz Klopf has been working in residence in North Liverpool, across the neighbourhoods of Everton, Anfield and Breckfield.  As a way of marking the end of his residency, Klopf has created YOU’RE HAVING A LAUGH, a unique part installation, part exhibition, part performance and part party representing the idea of a great night out.

At Static Gallery

You’re Having a Laugh
Preview: Friday 8 January 2010, 19-21.00
Installation open to view Saturday 9 January, 10-17.00

Klopf has created a dynamic diagram depicting the network of interwoven social groups encountered during his residency.  Presented as a drawing, hand drawn in chalk on an oversized blackboard, it links the people and places visited by him. The diagram is supported by sketch-books, drawings, videos and some very special objects found for the occasion.

YOU’RE HAVING A LAUGH features a number of the people Klopf has been talking to and working with as well as his own work inspired by the people and places. Collaborators include local artist, Frank Green, new local band Young Kicks along with the good-humoured support of a guest MC for the night, Liverpool comedian Sam Avery.
