SUMMARY:View Two Gallery: Liverpool: Next Stop New York
DESCRIPTION:Runs until 23 August 2015\nThe ‘Liverpool Next Stop New York
 ’ exhibition investigates the links between these two famous cities and 
 how this special relationship was enhanced by a love and appreciation of B
 lack American music and culture.\nCurated by RedHouse Originals gallery fr
 om the 7 - 23 August 2015\, a group of renowned visual artists with links 
 to both cities will offer an insight into the incredible impact the music 
 had on Liverpool from the 1940s onwards.\nMany of the artists involved are
  successful musicians in their own right\, providing a unique perspective 
 on the effect of this revolutionary movement. Private preview takes place 
 6th August at View Two Gallery. For more information please visit www.nex
 tstopnewyork.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“In the 1950s\, the merchant seamen worki
 ng on the cruise liners sailing from Liverpool to New York\, mostly as coo
 ks and waiters\, became known as Cunard Yanks. The Cunard Yanks saw themse
 lves as fugitives from bombed-out austerity Britain. America represented l
 iberation. They were entranced by the music they discovered there – Doo-
 wop\, Soul\, Rhythm &amp\; Blues – and hung out at jazz clubs where they
  heard Count Basie\, Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie.” Taken from Verti
 go Magazine\n\n\n\n\n\nHighlights include an exclusively commissioned scul
 pture by Mike Badger (The La’s) and original paintings by Horace Panter 
 (The Specials). The exhibition also features work by acclaimed artists Dud
 ley Edwards\, Pete McKee\, Low Coneyand The Studio of Ezra. A selection of
  original paintings\, print-making and sculpture will be complemented by a
  range of historical and documentary photography\, dating from the 1940s t
 o the early 90s.\n\n\nThe exhibition precedes a weekend long celebration a
 t Sefton Park’s Palm House featuring seminal DJs Greg Wilson and Les Spa
 ine. Full details will be announced in the coming weeks. For more inform
 ation please visit www.nextstopnewyork.org.\n\nYaw Owusu\, LIMF Curator co
 mments\, "I am really pleased with the addition and announcement of this 
 element of Liverpool\, Next Stop New York. Like music\, art really capture
 s the zeitgeist and adds a personal touch to any retrospect and it seems r
 eally fitting that this commission includes visual art too."\n\nLIMF is an
  inherently different festival representing the latest chapter of an ever-
 evolving global music city. Presenting its most ambitious and vibrant prog
 ramme to date\, Liverpool welcomes artists\, creatives and music-lovers f
