SUMMARY:ARTS Hub 47: ARTS Hub 47: Practitioners Of The City
DESCRIPTION:Practitioners of The City\n\n"Walkers are 'practitioners of the
  city\,' for the city is made to be walked. A city is a language\, a repos
 itory of possibilities\, and walking is the act of speaking that language\
 , of selecting from those possibilities. Just as language limits what can 
 be said\, architecture limits where one can walk\, but the walker invents 
 other ways to go."\nRebecca Solnit\, 'Wanderlust: A History of Walking'\n\
 nPractitioners of The City is a week-long exhibition of works by a group o
 f 4 local artists. Each artist explores the way in which they interact wit
 h the unique urban environment of Liverpool.\n\nWhile what brings the arti
 sts together is a shared sense of belonging to Liverpool\, each offers a d
 rastically different understanding of the city - their own perspective on 
 this historic\, yet constantly changing\, port city. While all the artists
  touch upon themes such as a sense of place and shared memory\, they offer
  their interpretation in varied ways.\n\nTony O’Connell\, raised in Live
 rpool - and influenced by a childhood lived under Thatcher’s managed dec
 line - explores the act of crossing the city itself\, whose streets invoke
  a feeling of ritual and pilgrimage\, influenced by his own experiences as
  teacher and artist.\n\nNicola Roscoe-Calvert’s route takes a different 
 path - engaging with poetry and memory\, with her work that crosses discip
 lines and combines text and ephemeral objects.\n\nPatrick O’Rourke explo
 res the idea of nostalgia and the reality of returning home - drawing upon
  his own experience of arriving back in Liverpool after four years in Sydn
 ey\, Australia. The work combines stark black and white charcoal drawings 
 with bold spray paint.\n\nTom George’s work reflects the impacts upon th
 e human psyche of capitalism. We see a tension between the tamed\, commodi
 fied self of urban modernity versus a freer\, more implusive\, yet almost 
 forgotten past essence.\n\nPractitioners of the City is brought to you by 
 the Not Just Collective - formed by Liverpool Biennial volunteers who\, ha
 ving dedicated their time to the festival\, believed they should also supp
 ort local creative practitioners - especially each other – in finding wa
 ys to showcase their work. Their first exhibition was in January 2013 at D
 omino Gallery\, Liverpool\, and since then the collective has continued to
  grow and develop\, holding exhibitions in galleries and non-traditional s
 paces across the region.\n\nOpening Times for ARTS hub 47\nSaturday
