Jon Fawcett: Hearts and Minds
2 July - 14 August 2010
The works of artist Jon Fawcett exhibited in the Blade Galleries are a series that test the interfaces between the boundaries of artistic production, dissemination and reception. The inventory of materials used in his works reads like a crossword puzzle made from the remains of the remixed narratives of JG Ballard and Philip K Dick. In a near future moment; an artist wakes in a lucid dream. His ideas have become avatars in a work of art sponsored by the CIA. The viewer is invited into this liminal space to unravel the threads and read blogs posted by others who have had supernatural experiences.

2 July - 14 August 2010
A Foundation presents Artur Zmijewski's first UK commission produced during a residency within the historically and politically resonant city of Liverpool.

Hosted by the existing School of Fine Art & Design at LJMU, the pop-up school was modelled on the Bauhaus established in Weimar by Walter Gropius in 1919.
