SUMMARY:Bridewell Studios and Gallery: Bridewell Studios: Here to Become
DESCRIPTION:Preview: Thursday 6 July 6.30-9.00pm\nOpen: 7-14 July 12-6pm da
 ily\n\nThe Material Matters Collective presents Here To Become an exhibiti
 on and series of events at the Bridewell Gallery\, Liverpool\, UK from 7- 
 14th July 2023.\n\nIn our first major show as a new co-operative our work 
 will occupy the Bridewell's two galleries.\n\nVisitors are invited to embr
 ace the alchemical qualities of the material and the symbolic\, weaved tog
 ether into mythopoetics that are paradoxically both stable and mutable\, h
 uman and more-than-human.\n\nAngelo Madonna further explores his work on b
 ody-duality\, his created forms presenting a kind of living alter-ego of t
 he self: fragile works\, that play with elemental forces of fire\, water a
 nd air.\n\nAlso literally taking inspiration ('re-spirare' It.- departing\
 , going\, to breathe the last breath) from these forces\, Silvia Battista 
 invokes ritual practice to imagine a mythological\, speculative fiction: c
 entred on a series of works which powerfully and beautifully present an al
 ternative semiotics.\n\nPatric Rogers presents a startling geological exam
 ination of human identity\, deconstructing the figure in 3D to argue for a
  re-appreciation of the contribution that landscape itself has on both our
  physical and spiritual manifestation.\n\nJohn Elcock connects with and un
 ifies our collective's work with a kinetic sculpture whose enigmatic form\
 , at giant scale\, seeks to weigh human souls in a chilling metaphor for n
 uclear annihilation.\n\nThis show stems from our shared connection to proc
 esses\, questions and uncertainty\, rather than a didactic of end-results 
 and answers. Our artists look at change as a condition of life - as an inf
 inite process of becoming\, and we challenge the imposed addiction towards
  the new that neoliberal ontologies have impressed on our consciousness.\n
 \n'Here to Become' is an Independents Biennial event responding to the the
 me of the 2023 Liverpool Biennial ‘uMoya: The Sacred Return of Lost Thin
 gs’ whose theme addresses the history and temperament of our city and it
 s call for ancestral forms of knowledge\, wisdom and healing.\n\nThe exhib
 ition will be accompanied by artists' talks and a discussion.\nPlease chec
 k online listings social media and our website for updates.
