SUMMARY:John Lennon Art and Design Building: Exhibition Research Lab: Fanch
 on Fröhlich: The Wrong Sex
DESCRIPTION:February 17 – May 4\, 2023\nQuiet Preview* February 17\, 5:00
  – 6:00pm\nPublic Preview February 17\, 6:00 – 8:00pm\n\nThe gallery i
 s open Monday – Friday\, 11:00am – 4:00pm\, and will be closed on indu
 strial action strike days and during university holidays.\n\n—\n\nExhibi
 tion Research Lab is pleased to present the world premiere of Fanchon Froh
 lich: The Wrong Sex\, in collaboration with the British Art and Design Ass
 ociation (BADA). Curated by Dr James Schofield (LJMU) with curatorial assi
 stance from Terry Duffy (BADA).\n\n—\n\nFanchon Fröhlich (1927-2016)\, 
 a prolific abstract expressionist painter\, printmaker and draughtsperson 
 throughout her life\, her practice crossed over into a number of other dis
 ciplines including philosophy\, fashion and theoretical physics. After stu
 dying The Philosophy of Science at the University of Chicago in 1944 she w
 ould emigrate to England from America in 1949\, making her home in Liverpo
 ol. In her early years in England she studied Linguistics Philosophy at Ox
 ford University\, graduating in 1953\, followed by a Postgraduate Scholars
 hip at Liverpool Art College where she studied painting. From her base in 
 the city she travelled globally\, exploring new techniques and approaches 
 to practice alongside developing many collaborations with other eminent pr
 actitioners of the time. This included abstract painter Peter Lanyon in St
 . Ives in the late-1950s\, printmaker William Hayter at the renowned Ateli
 er 17 in Paris in the early/mid-1960s\, and calligraphic artist Goto San i
 n Kyoto throughout the 1970s. It was during her time at Atelier 17 that he
 r work was most prominent\, leading to her writing for the internationally
  renowned Situationist International in 1961\, and later exhibiting her pr
 ints alongside luminaries such as Marcel Duchamp and Joan Miró.\n\nHoweve
 r\, against this rich and varied backdrop of practice and relationships wi
 th global pioneers in their fields\, she was largely overlooked in the can
 on of art history. Not for reasons relating to her technical creative abil
 ity\, but purely because she was deemed to be ‘the wrong sex’ for an a
 bstract expressionist painter of the time. The Wrong Sex directly addresse
 s this prejudiced assumption to platform Fröhlich\, her practice and her 
 life. Opening out her legacy to new audiences and disseminating the impact
  she had across artistic\, scientific and philosophical spheres. Providing
  a starting point for future research\, response and collaboration for pra
 ctitioners and BADA.\n\nThe exhibition is the first display of the archive
  of Fanchon Fröhlich anywhere in the world.\n\nMuch like the artist and h
 er own way of working\, the display will be dynamic and changing throughou
 t the lifespan of the exhibition\, in order to provide as much insight int
 o the archive as possible. Incorporating original storage items from the a
 rchive into the curation of the exhibition\, many of the previously unseen
  items will be articulated in new\, non-chronological\, relations with one
  another to provide a fluid dialogue that encourages further interaction a
 nd study.\n\n—\n\n*Please note\, our events and projects are always open
  to all. However\, our Quiet Preview is for visitors of all ages who requi
 re reduced volume and reduced numbers of other visitors compared to our Pu
 blic Preview. As such\, we may stagger entry for visitors to ensure the ga
 llery doesn’t become too crowded at any given time.\n\n—\n\nMore infor
