SUMMARY:Convenience Grange Precinct Pop Up: Convenience Gallery: In a Past 
 line by Kate Bigley
DESCRIPTION:Kate Bigley's 'In A Past Line' is an interactive installation s
 et in Birkenhead's former Marks &amp\; Spencer. Until 2018\, M&amp\;S occu
 pied the now-vacant space and served as a popular department store for sho
 ppers and residents. Its closure has left the community feeling discourage
 d about the future of Birkenhead. 'In A Past Line' aims to breathe life ba
 ck into the building and evoke memories of M&amp\;S's bustling retail envi
 ronment.\n\nWith the aim of reimagining the space as it once was\, Kate us
 es industrial materials to fabricate retail displays and browsing shoppers
 . Through the manipulation of electrical tape\, she draws silhouettes of c
 ustomers onto translucent polythene plastic sheets that are suspended from
  the ceiling and scattered throughout the space. Attendees are encouraged 
 to engage with these ghostly figures as they occupy much of the gallery's 
 communal space. The tape continues throughout the exhibit and serves as a 
 malleable and bold\, yet temporary omnipresence\, reminding people of the 
 impermanence of things\, particularly within this Marks &amp\; Spencer loc
 ation.\n\nThe process of creating the work within the space allowed Kate t
 o incorporate elements of the building's architecture and remnants of the 
 shop into her piece. In doing so\, the space's history informs the work an
 d evokes a sense of nostalgia\, enabling Kate to explore the more creative
  and playful aspect of her practice.\n\nLaunch event: Saturday 11th May 5:
 00pm -10:00pm\n\nExhibition open after launch: Wednesday - Friday 10:30am-
 4:00pm
