Mark Morrisroe
Morrisroe, an instrumental figure in the 1970s’ Boston punk scene, was 30 years old when he died of an AIDS-related illness. The work displayed here, made during his final years, uses photographs and X-ray images alongside other ephemera. Many of these works were produced in a makeshift darkroom in his hospitalbathroom.

Kohei Yoshiyuki
The Park, 1971–79
Love Hotel, 1978
Throughout the 1970s, photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki documented the busy nightlife 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
Sinta Tantra
Together Yet Forever Apart, 2012
Tantra reflects upon how buildings welcome or repel us, and how bodies navigate environments shaped by light, colour and physical structures. Tantra’s installation transforms the external facade of the Open Eye Gallery and the adjoining public space,
creating a spectacle of submergence and superabundance. Commissioned by Liverpool Biennial and Open Eye Gallery
