She has developed a new public commission  with Art on the Underground\, London which launches this autumn and is t he Stuart Hall Foundation practice-based PhD candidate at The Institute fo r Black Atlantic Research\, The University of Central Lancashire.\nAt Blue coat the artist will transform the gallery walls with huge charcoal wall d rawings as part of a wider installation. The drawings are comprised of quo tations and responses to key texts on decolonisation and decolonising know ledge by writers such as Frantz Fanon\, Audre Lorde and Stuart Hall. Mon tserrat’s drawings will also feature fragments of text by local and inte rnational artists addressing vital questions such as who does art educatio n serve and who should it serve? How do we value individual and collective creativity? And what could a care centred approach to education look like ?\nAs part of Bluecoat’s wider season which asks ‘who gets to be an ar tist?’ Montserrat will open these questions out further with events and workshops in the gallery space including a reading group by artist Jack T an\, a radical mycology gathering led by Jane Lawson and life-drawing wi th artist and model Paul Kindersley.\nJade is the recipient of the Stuart Hall Foundation Scholarship which supports her PhD (via MPhil) at The Ins titute for Black Atlantic Research\, The University of Central Lancashire (Race and Representation in Northern Britain in the context of the Black A tlantic: A Creative Practice Project) and the development of her work from her black diasporic perspective in the North of England. She was also awa rded one of two Jerwood Student Drawing Prizes in 2017 for No Need for Cl othing\, a documentary photograph of a drawing installation at Cooper Gall ery DJCAD by Jacquetta Clark. Jade Montserrat works at an intersection of art and activism through performance\, drawing\, painting\, film\, insta llation\, sculpture\, print and text. The artist interrogates these medium s with the aim to expose gaps in our visual and linguistic habits.\nJade ’s Rainbow Tribe project - a combination of historical and contemporar y manifestations of Black Culture from the perspective of the Black Diaspo ra is central to the ways she is producing a body of work\, including No Need For Clothing and its iterations\, as well as her performance work  Revue. Jade has been commissioned to present Revue as a 24 hour live per formanceat SPILL Festival of Performance\, on 25 and 26 October 2018 and a solo exhibition at The Bluecoat\, Liverpool\, Sat 17 Nov - Sun 10 Mar 20 19.\nRevue will be filtered digitally through institutions in cities thro ughout the world where Josephine Baker performed\, and then back into the public domain. The performance is intent on reimagining the representation of black bodies\, with an emphasis on protection\, care\, positioning and preservation. Revue has the potential to invite multidirectional memory (Michael Rothberg) work by locating the performance within terms of refer ence including: slavery and the spectacle of bondage (slave auctions)\; co nsumption of culture and black presence within art institutions\; visual c onsumption of the human body\; 24 hour news cycles\; dance marathons of th e 1930s\; monitoring and surveillance\; operating in the world despite pai n\; narratology\; time - circular time\, racial time\, revolutionary time. Repetition locates the performance as both historical and contemporary\, embodied and disembodied\, with and without agency: “When black life mat ters\, time itself is altered\, creating “revolutionary time”. To make America great again is\, then\, to make it “white again\,” a temporal action in which the future becomes more like the past and less like the p resent.” Nicholas Mirzoeff (e-flux)\nRecent selected screenings\, per formances and presentations include: SPACE studios (2018)\, ICA Philadelph ia (2018)\, Arnolfini\, and Spike Island\, Bristol (2017)\, Alison Jacques Gallery (2017) and Princeton University (2016).\n Her new commission for  Art on the Underground launches December 2018.\nImage: The Last Place Th ey Thought Of (Installation View\, ICA Philladelphia)\, 2018 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2018/10/2018_04_29_The_Last_Place_ICA_Ramp-4139_MED.jpg LOCATION:Bluecoat\, School Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United K ingdom GEO:53.404542;-2.984173 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=School Lane\, Liverpool\, L 1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bluecoat:geo :53.404542,-2.984173 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20181028T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
