In return he gifted this complete set of his pre-WW2 anti-Nazi photomontage posters. Seen here for the first time.\n\n \nJohn Heartfield was one of the founders of the Berlin Dada group in 1918 . He went on to invent the technique of photomontage\, cutting up otherwis e waste photographs and reassembling them with glue to make new artworks. In 1968\, ten years after John Lennon was in his first year at Liverpool S chool of Art and Design\, students around the western world were revolting \, our art students invited the German artist to Liverpool to speak about his photomontage work. In return\, in 1976\, his widow gave the Art School a gift of a complete set of his ground-breaking posters. They have hidden unseen ever since in the Liverpool John Moores University library archive s until today. John Hyatt\, re-curates and represents an exhibition of thi s powerful political work – an exhibition originally compiled in Communi st East Germany and with a subtle Cold War Eastern Bloc orientation.\n\nA public talk will take place at the Walker Art Gallery (see events): John J . Heartfield\, John Heartfield’s grandson\, will talk about his grandfat her’s work and his memories of him. This will be the first time John J. Heartfield will have spoken in Britain.\n--\nHistory of the Scottie Press\ nWith co-curator Joel Hansen\nThe Tapestry Gallery\, 3rd Floor\, 68-76 Kem pston St\, Liverpool L3 8HL\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nThe Scottie Press archive seen for the first time.

Curate d by John Hyatt working with Joel Hansen of the Scottie Press\, this will be the first time its archive has been displayed as an exhibition. Its his tory shows a marvellous timeline of the development of Scotland Road\, its trials and tribulations. It is a blowby-blow story of a Liverpool communi ty dealing with historical\, social change and urban planning. Including a lso the film\, Us and Them (1979)\, by Peter Leeson and the book\, Goodbye Scotland Rd.\, The Bluecoat Press (2008)\, the exhibition reveals an arci ng timeline of Liverpool stories across five decades which will continue f rom this exhibition into the future as The Scottie Press goes digital.\n-- \nA Gap in the Media where the Truth Shone Through\nI.C. Rapoport\nThe Tap estry Gallery\, 3rd Floor\, 68-76 Kempston St\, Liverpool L3 8HL\nOpen 11. 00 am – 6.00 pm\nChuck Rapoport photographed the Kennedys\, Marilyn\, an d Castro for Life\, Paris Match\, and Time.

Rapoport photogr aphed the Kennedys\, Marilyn\, Castro\,\n\nTruffaut\, Beckett\, Aznavour\, and The Lovin’ Spoonful for Life Magazine\, Paris Match\,\n\nTime Magaz ine\, and Sports Illustrated. However\, no subject touched Chuck Rapoport more than documenting the aftermath of the Welsh Aberfan Tragedy of 1966.\ n\nJohn Hyatt curates a world premiere of five previously unexhibited and unpublished Rapoport photographs from 1968 of an everyday morning at a kio sk in New York made extraordinary by the newspaper headline\, ‘WORST WEE K 543 GIs DIE’\, announcing how many troops had been killed in Vietnam t hat week\, sparking nationwide protests against the US policy of war in Vi etnam. A quiet morning when media censorship slipped and the Truth shone t hrough.\n\nChuck Rapoport will be visiting to talk about photography and h is photographs in a public talk and conversation (see events)\n--\nThe Whi te Space: 50th Anniversary of The Beatles’ White Album\nCo-curator James Thomas\nThe Tapestry Gallery\, 3rd Floor\, 68-76 Kempston St\, Liverpool L3 8HL\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nOn 22 November 1968\, The Beatles relea sed The White Album. The exhibition makes particular reference to the artw ork and ephemera and The Beatles’ sideprojects of 1968.\nOn 22 November 1968\, The Beatles released what has commonly become known as The White Al bum. The album is infused with influences in both the songs and artwork. I t marks the second collaboration between The Beatles and the art world\, a fusing of art and popular culture. The White Album and its predecessor Sg t. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band set a benchmark in album cover desig n and presentation.\n\nThe White Space studies The Beatles as an evolving band\, the transitions from\n\nBeatlemania to Psychedelia and then Minimal ism through The White Album. Press clippings\, posters\, magazines and rar ely seen documents from Apple Records. The space will feature music from T he White Album and explore the creation of the album from the influences o f Maharishi and Ravi Shankar and also commemorate John Lennon’s partners hip with Yoko Ono and the first Unfinished Music album\, the Yellow Submar ine film and album\, as well as George Harrison’s soundtrack album Wonde rwall Music.\n\nA catalogue will be available in the exhibition space and in the blog section of mergecontemporaryart.com. This exhibition draws upo n Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now - The Barry Miles Archive\, a vast r esource held at the Liverpool John Moores University Archives and Special Collections.\n--\nAt the YPG Gallery…\nThe Tabloid and The Truth\nAnthon y Donovan\nThe YPG Gallery\,\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nNew digital caric atures and shocking montages that comment upon contemporary international politics.\nA new series created especially for this Festival in a city whi ch banned The S*n tabloid for its reportage of Hillsborough in 1989\, when under its headline ‘The Truth’ it outrageously accused Liverpool fans of urinating on police and pickpocketing dead victims. Anthony creates we ird\, twisted portraits of hidden monstrous creatures that emerge from ins ide daily media images to stalk the bloody fields of representation.\n\nTh is work is conceived in the British tradition of political printmaking har king back to James Gillray and George Cruickshank of the early 1800s. In t heir form\, they are in the tradition of Dada and call back to John Heartf ield’s groundbreaking montages\, featured in the sister exhibition. Dono van uses the Brechtian conceit of aping the front page of a tabloid\, allo wing hard-hitting imagery with powerful prose. The serial repetition works to add to the strength of the work.\n--\nGIRLFANS: Untold Stories\nJacqui McAssey\nThe YPG Gallery\,\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nInvestigation of t he lives of women through photography and the traditional fanzine form to give female football fans visibility\, a voice and a sense of belonging in football culture.\nFootball in 1968 was altogether a testosterone-fuelled sport and culture. George Best\, following Man United’s success in the European Cup\, captivated the tabloids as a womanising\, hard-drinking\, p artygoer. In fifty years\, some things in football haven’t changed too m uch – Man City won the 68 League – but Jacqui McAssey’s GIRLFANS res earch project asks ‘What has changed?’ and plays a proactive role in c hallenging the gender stereotypes around football to readdress the positio n of women in the history of the game. GIRLFANS: investigates the lives of real women through photography and the traditional fanzine form to give f emale football fans visibility\, a voice and a sense of belonging in footb all culture. GIRLFANS disrupts the narrative surrounding female fan cultur e\, past and present\n\nYou can see an interview with Jacqui here https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV9xjVdDV4&\;index=13&\;list=PLISuFiQTdKDVei 33_g7JTaglLk4lgANxS\n\nwww.girlfans.co.uk\n--\nTeenage Rampage – from ‘68 to ‘86\nDavid Moss\nThe YPG Gallery\,\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\n A personal autobiographical series of ’68 inspired watercolours.\n\nArti st/Musician\, David Moss\, has made a series of ’68-inspired watercolour s\, seen here for the first time. He says\, “May 68 is\, for me\, a trig onometrical station on the map of my disposition\, the map of a child’s fascination with the glamour of revolt. These paintings are that fascinati on adrift. George Best was the Che Guevara of\n\nBritish football\, an aft er-image who leapt over the partisan barricades\, like The \n\nBeatles bef ore him. Wind me on to 1974 and The Sweet sang about youth in revolt in Te enage Rampage\, and asked ‘where were you in 68?’ in The Six Teens. Th en\, as the first images of UK Punk hit the mass media the revolution was NOW. These images were situations\, designed to explode a staid normality: Situationism inspired Malcolm McLaren\, Vivienne Westwood\, Jamie Reid an d Bernie Rhodes. The young women who came through as artists and as living art were an influence and a confluence. The make-up and hairstyles of Jor dan and Soo Catwoman\; and the wailing\, moving image of Ari Up were image s of their own design. I didn’t feel a difference between the punks and the glam rockers who came before\, I just sensed something exciting and di fferent and I wanted to be a part of that. None of it made any sense to me : it was a glamour.”\n--\n1968 and Other Myths\nMagnus Quaife\nThe YPG G allery\,\nOpen 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\n\nWatercolour painting has provided a way of extracting May 1968 images from photographic and digital media cir culation\, allowing a different kind of focus in time.\n\nThe effects of i mages reverberate for decades through our collective psyche. Familiar imag es re-circulate\, silently accruing meaning and attaining mythical charact eristics. Quaife’s work emerged from a consideration of the power of the image in cultural myths\, events or moments such as May ’68. There have been few events that have reverberated so strongly and yet\, as Gilles De leuze argued\, “May ’68 did not take place” – it is possible to th ink of it as a non event\n\nFor Quaife\, watercolour painting has provided a way of extracting images from this media circulation\, allowing a diffe rent kind of focus in time: the act of painting has a different making tim e and thinking time to that of photography and the media and\, as painting s\, they are made again as something new in a different era fifty years in their future.\n--\nInterruptions #5\nMatt Johnson\nThe YPG Gallery\,\nOpe n 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nA photographic contrast to the nostalgia for histo rical protest movements and the foreclosure of any reasonable debate on co ntemporary activism within the control society.  \n\nJohnson offers a con trast to the nostalgia for historical protest movements and the foreclosur e of any reasonable debate on contemporary activism within the control soc iety. A long sequence of still images taken from witness footage filmed in London during the riots of August 2011 are interrupted by other image fra gments relating to the attempted framing of the riots in the media. Johnso n questions the autopositioning of the mediated terms and significance of these events\, and the way that representation is always a redaction and a tidying of the messy\, spontaneous performance of the everyday\, whether that was protest in Paris 1968\, Toxteth 1981\, or London 2011.\n--\nThe T ry &\; Lilly Archive\nWith co-curator Margaret Appleby\nYPG Gallery\nOp en 11.00 am – 6.00 pm\nThis incredible display shows in an immediate and spectacular manner\, the history of one of Liverpool’s oldest but littl est-known companies\, Try &\; Lilly Ltd.\n\nWhen any students’ protes ts\, whether protesting about Vietnam or any other aspect of “The Establ ishment”\, might have needed police regulation in 1968\, the police head gear would have no doubt been made in the Fabric District where it has bee n for a hundred years\n\nTry &\; Lilly Ltd. continue to make the world ’s caps and helmets at 95 Kempston St\, Liverpool L3 8HE. Curated with f ashion businesswoman and MA Fashion\, Innovation and Realisation student a t LJMU\, Margaret Appleby\, this incredible display shows in an immediate and spectacular manner\, the history of one of Liverpool’s oldest but li ttlest-known companies.\n --\nRevisiting Paris\, May 1968 - Opening the A rchive\nWith co-curator Professor Colin Fallows of Liverpool School of Art and Design\, LJMU\nLiverpool John Moores University\, The Aldham Robarts Learning Resource Centre\, 29 Maryland St\, Liverpool L1 9D\nOpen Friday 11th 5.00pm – 7.00 pm\nSaturday 12th\, 10.00 am - 12 noon and 2.00 pm -4 .00 pm\nSunday 13th 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm\nA rare opportunity to view original documents\, posters and artefacts relating to the May 1968 riots and the influential Situationist International group. \n\nA rare opportunity to vi ew original documents\, posters and artefacts relating to the May 1968 rio ts and the influential Situationist International group. A special opening of the John McCready Archive at Liverpool John Moores University. The Arc hive is graphically interesting as well as historically significant. The S ituationist International aimed to transform art and everyday life through the breakdown of traditional divisions between artists and consumers and the total integration of cultural production. They devised a variety of ne w techniques and activities - including detournement\, psychogeography  a nd the derive - which attempted to provoke individuals into actively engag ing with both their own bodies and the city environment. The items on disp lay from the John McCready Archive bring these ideas sharply into focus fi fty years on and demonstrate how they still resonate toda\n\nColin Fallows will be in Conversation with John McCready (TBC)\n --\nVisual Cortex\nAr tists of the Brain Charity\nWith co-curator Nanette Mellor\nThe Brain Char ity\nOpen 9.00 am – 5.00 pm 11th May\nAn exhibition of artworks produced by people with neurological conditions.  \n\nIn May 1968 'People First' was born. The original campaign group led by people with a learning disabi lity. They demanded independence after years of institutionalisation. They demanded to have a voice. Today\, that voice is being expressed through a rt as well as speech: an exhibition of artworks produced by Liverpool peop le with neurological conditions.\n--\nPublic Art\n--\nThe Fabric District and particularly Gildart Street has been turned into an open air art galle ry.\nJohn Lennon and the Student Sit-in at Guildford School of Art\nJohn W almsley\nWindows of The Liverpool John Moores University Tower\, 24 Norton St\, Merseyside\, Liverpool L3 8P\n24 hour viewing\nThe photographer\, Jo hn Walmsley\, was a photography student at Guildford School of Art and pho tographed the student sit-in of 1968.  \n\nThe photographer\, John Walmsl ey\, was a photography student at Guildford School of Art and photographed the student sit-in of 1968. For this Festival we are so proud to present a large-scale blow-up of a photograph of students’ democracy in action a nd an iconic portrait of John Lennon speaking in support of the students a nd sacked staff when he and Yoko Ono visited the exhibition of staff work at a London gallery in December 1968.\n\nJohn Walmsley photographs things that interest him. He is a passionate educationalist. His final year proje ct on A.S.Neill's democratic school\, Summerhill\, was published by Pengui n Books in 1969. He had also taken the historic shot of Vanessa Redgrave\, Tariq Ali and Richard Branson (1968 Grosvenor Square antiVietnam war demo ) which was selected by Baroness Helena Kennedy to be one of a hundred pic tures exhibited at the NPG to celebrate portraits of the millennium. John now has 9 photographs in the National Portrait Gallery's Permanent Collect ion\n\nJohn Walmsley will be visiting to talk about photography and his ph otographs in a public talk and conversation (see events)\n--\nPsychedelic Adventures of Clean Machine\nJohn Hyatt and Thalia Styx\n68-76 Kempston St \, Liverpool L3 8HL\n24 hour viewing\nWorld premiere of 8 pseudo-psychedel ic banner prints in a permanent outdoor street venue\, Gildart Street Gall ery \n\nIn Liverpool’s Fabric District\, the outside walls of The Tapest ry have been turned into a permanent outdoor gallery\, Gildart Street Gall ery\, which will be showing a regular programme of works into the future. This inaugural exhibition is the world-first showing for 8 pseudo-psychede lic banner prints by Hyatt and Styx (AKA Aisling Davis). The works will al so simultaneously be published as an eight-page feature\, reminiscent of t he feel of a classic 8-page comic strip\, in the online journal\, Stimulus Respond (http://www.stimulusrespond.com). Hyatt and Styx were inspired by the late Sixties movie Fantastic Voyage\, starring Raquel Welch\, about a scientist dying of a blood clot whose only chance for survival is for fiv e colleagues to be miniaturized in a ship\, Proteus\, and injected into hi s bloodstream just as Hyatt and Styx’ Psychedelic Adventures of Clean Ma chine injects hope into the mainstream body of art.\n\nMA/68\nAlan Dunn an d Collaborators\nA sound collage for Tannoys featuring street recordings a nd slogans.\n24 hour\nSound projection Gildart Street\, Liverpool L3 8HL\n \nIn Paris in May 1968 Vangelis left his studio to gather streets’ sound s while\, at the end of the month\, The Beatles began work on their landma rk assemblage Revolution 9.

The bike trail to the City Centre from Formby is sent back on itself by painted arrows on the roads either side of the traffic. In the spirit of May 1968 in Paris when the students and workers almost brought France to its knees\, a barri cade will be built to underline the barrier that is Islington. It is an ai m of the Festival to reconnect the communities on either side of this road and to stitch Liverpool back together. There will be a symbolic community dismantling of Barry.\n\nBulky Bob's is 30 in 2018! A registered charity and a social enterprise\, as well as a professional\, experienced waste ma nagement company\, they have held the bulky household waste collection con tract with Liverpool City Council for 18 years and use the furniture they collect to help local people. They give away furniture to people in furnit ure poverty\; run a salaried training course to help people in poverty get sustainable employment\; and run an End Furniture Poverty campaign workin g with partners to find out ways to ease it and raise awareness of the iss ues. They also offer confidential shredding and office recycling\, as Bulk y Bob's Office &\; Commercial\n\nWaste. Use them! 100% of the profits a re reinvested back into helping to End Furniture Poverty.

That’s a matter of opinion. It could be said that t he handprints of our cave dwelling ancestors were a form of graffiti or “I was here” marks. “Kilroy was here” was popular in World War II. The graffiti movement of modern times would look back to Philadelphia’s Cornbread\, a high school student who started tagging city walls to attra ct a girl in 1967. The student protests and general strike of May 1968 saw Paris decorated in radical Situationist slogans such as L'ennui est contr erévolutionnaire ("Boredom is counterrevolutionary" – see the sister ex hibition in The Tapestry). Whilst in the US\, the Black Panther movement u sed graffiti to protest\n\nHuey Newton’s arrest with “Free Huey” str eet artworks. Many years later in the 1980s\, the underground – as so of ten happens - started to be brought into galleries to refresh the mainstre am and artists like Banksy started fetching high prices.\n\nDuring April 2 018\, a small army of graffiti artists keep it real and transform the wall s of the Fabric District under the banner of Zap Graffiti’s Contrast Mur al Festival. The results of their work celebrate 50 years of modern graffi ti as a part of our Time Tunnel Festival and the official Launch of the Fa bric District.\n--\nRevolutionary Nature\nThe children of Liverpool\nGilda rt Street\, 1.00 – 5.00 pm Saturday 12th (if bad weather\, inside The Ta pestry)\nThe children of LIPA primary School and the work made by the chil dren of Liverpool at the Friday event in The Brain Charity is on show.  \ n\nThe children of LIPA primary School and the work made by the children o f Liverpool at the Friday event in The Brain Charity\, Under the Grit the Garden (see Events)\, will be displayed on the railings of Gildart Street to add green and colour to the urban landscape.\n--\nEvents\n--\nUnder the Grit the Garden  With co-creator/curator Jayne Seddon\nA collaborative d rawing event free and open to the public.\n10.00 – 12.00 on Saturday 12t h\nAt the Brain Charity\n\nUnder the Grit the Garden is a Northern British adaptation of the famous 1968 Situationist slogan\, Under the Cobblestone s the Beach.

They will be pai nting\, drawing and making marks on fabric\, primed canvas and white garme nts\; using lists and other organisational material as inspiration for the work. These paintings will inspire a painting performance influenced by N iki de Saint Phalle’s Shooting Paintings of the Sixties and Sarah Lucas ’ more contemporary\, One Thousand Eggs.\n\nTheir painting performance w ill involve soaking balls of tissue and toilet paper in paint and throwing them at the material\, paintings\, canvas\, clothing and fabric that they have been exploring in the time and space allocated. They shall replicate the school and swimming bath rituals of their childhood\, when as an act of rebellion they would soak tissues and toilet paper in water and launch them at the ceiling. Instead\, they will soak them in paint. This act defi ance mirrors Nike de Saint Phalle’s taking aim at everything she hated i n the world. The public will have an opportunity to join in with this perf ormance and make work with Amy\, Fiona and the children.\n\nA seminar sess ion will be organised and the work will be presented to an invited audienc e. Aesthetics\, as well as political issues will be discussed. Amy and Fio na intend that the project opens up a conversation with others in terms of the theme.\n\nThey will invite artists\, some who are mothers\, to engage in a dialogue (see the Events talks Programme).\n --\nFor full details:  http://timetunnel.johnhyatt.co.uk/\n\nSponsored by Liverpool John Moores University and FINSA\n\nSupported by The Tapestry\; YPG Developments\; Tr y &\; Lilly Ltd\; The Brain Charity\; Abakhan\; Fabrication Studio\; Bu lky Bob’s\; MD Productions\; DoES Liverpool\; Scottie Press\; Zapp Graff iti\; LIPA Junior School\; Walker Art Gallery\, National Museums Liverpool \; People First\, Merseyside\; Metal\; MAKE\; Writing on the Wall\; Blueco at\; Bido Lito\; Art in Liverpool\; Bluecoat Gallery\; CERES Centre for Ed ucation Research at LJMU\; Friends of St. James’s Gardens\; The Regenda Group\; Northern Flowerhouse\; Eden Project\; University of Liverpool\; No rthern Flowerpowerhouse\; (Liverpool John Moores University\; Leeds Becket t University\; Hope University\; Manchester Metropolitan University\; Salf ord University\; Huddersfield University)\; AntiUniversity NOW\, London\; The Reeds Liverpool\; Knowledge Quarter\; Liverpool City Council.   ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2018/04/Time-Tunnel-final-logo.jpg LOCATION:The Tapestry\, 68-76 Kempston Street\, Liverpool\, L3 8HL\, Liverp ool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.41052;-2.971568 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=68-76 Kempston Street\, Liv erpool\, L3 8HL\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Th e Tapestry:geo:53.41052,-2.971568 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20180325T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
