Following the success of ‘Liverpool 8’ in 2002, the first open exhibition for former students of the Liverpool School of Art, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool are pleased to present a second exhibition, Alumni. The entries were selected by Professor Colin Fallows, Chair of Research, Liverpool School of Art and Design, LJMU; Professor Jagjit Chuhan, Chair of the Centre for Art International Research, Liverpool School of Art and Design, LJMU; and Matthew Clough, Curator, University of Liverpool.
The exhibition is a collaborative venture, staged across two venues, the Liverpool School of Art and Design 68 Hope Street Gallery, and the Senate House Exhibition Hall in Abercromby Square . Entries were invited from all graduates of the School of Art working in any two dimensional medium suitable for wall hanging. Where ‘ Liverpool 8’ featured eight artists, Alumni involves fourteen, a reflection of the very high quality of the competition.
Alumni also aptly demonstrates the wide variety of media, subjects and styles in which graduates of the School currently work. Whilst the majority of participants are working with oil on canvas or panel, printmaking, weaving and mixed media all feature in the exhibition. A broad range of former students entered, ranging from those who studied at the School of Art in the 1950s to graduates from the last few years.
