The t itle of this project is a playful reference to popular branding whilst als o nodding to the French word for 'light' and cinematic pioneers\, the Lumi ére brothers. It was their invention of the film projector that allowed t hem to fulfill their desire to share with the world. These sentiments are echoed by Tžužjj through a desire to bring exciting artists into public consciousness. This exhibition and its accompanying public realm lightbox project are programmed as a gentle introduction to future intentions of T žužjj.\n\nTžužjj is a curatorial project between Louis Palliser-Ames a nd James Harper. A playful re-working of the word ‘joosh’- a word with a myriad of spellings- tžužjj is an act of small movement or change\; t o improve something. The spelling of the name is intentionally convoluted\ , an antithesis to the idea that to ‘zhuzh’ something necessitates onl y a light hand. The project is focussed on sustaining relationships with e merging artists through research.\n\nLocations of the five lightboxes will be revealed at the Private View on Friday 25th March.\n\nFruits of the L ûm will be accompanied by 'Crit-a-Öke' on 09/04/16 at Bluecoat\, Liverpo ol\, an event exploring critical writing and theatricality. Details availa ble at tzuzjj.com\nMike Aitken’s work veers manically from a cursed self -loathing to an ego fuelled ‘oh-look-at-me’ fuck-fest. Twentieth centu ry art history especially takes quite a beating. As does any notion of his own artistic or intellectual superiority. Pop music is ravaged from every angle possible. A smutty\, teenage sense of humour presides. One pot cook ing is the method. Screeching noise is the medium.\nRecent exhibitions inc lude: Nothing\, British Pavillion Basement\, Venice\; 37 Pieces of Flair\, Newbridge Projects\, Newcastle\; Situational Aesthetics\, Airspace Galler y\, Liverpool\n\nAdam Ferriss is an artist based out of Los Angeles\, CA.

Her scul ptures explore the space between emotion and physicality\, construction an d collapse\, flatness and fullness: a giddy floppiness of excess materiali ty. She is interested in the back of things\; the open cracks where you se e the gooey insides. She graduated from slade school of art in 2013 and is currently completing her masters studies in sculpture at the Royal Colleg e of Art\, London.\nRecent exhibitions include: The Door\, Rice &\; Toy e\, London\; Best In Show\, It’s All Tropical &\; Das Balloon\, Londo n\; More and More\, More is More\, Bosse &\; Baum\, London\; The March Project\, Sharjah Art Foundation\, UAE\n\nJake Laffoley is an artist\, cur ator and member of the collective and school Practices in Remove.

Paris\, France.\n\nChlo ë Manasseh’s paintings and video works explore the limits of representa tion and ideas of remixing reality\, investigating senses that allow us to construct a limited simulation of what is around us\, and with our limite d perspective\, our memory and imagination further distorts our perception of space.\nRecent exhibitions include The Names\,Transition Gallery\, Lon don\; The Book of Palms\; Artist in Residence exhibition\, SHHS\, London\; Multiplied 2015\,Contemporary Art in Editions Fair\, Christies\, London\; ExpoMilano\, Università Cattolica\, in association with The Vatican Pavi lion\, Milan\n\nRunning until 10/04/2016\,\nopen Sat 26th March\, 2nd & \; 9th April 12-4pm or by appointment.\n\nSupported by Arts Council Englan d\n\nwww.tzuzjj.com\nwww.cbsgallery.co.uk\n\nCBS Gallery\n57-59 Victoria S treet\nLiverpool\nL1 6DD\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2016/03/cbs-fruit-1.jpg LOCATION:CBS Gallery\, 63 Blundell Street\, Liverpool\, L1 0AJ\, Liverpool\ , United Kingdom GEO:53.396605;-2.983911 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=63 Blundell Street\, Liverp ool\, L1 0AJ\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=CBS G allery:geo:53.396605,-2.983911 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20151025T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
