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.

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.
