SUMMARY:The World of Glass: Sankey Canal: Stephen King: Where Things Are Di
 fferent
DESCRIPTION:Stephen King\nWhere Things Are Different\n25 January to 22 Apri
 l 2018\nSankey Canal (behind The World of Glass)\nHeart of Glass\, suppor
 ted by Open Eye Gallery\, Liverpool has commissioned Where Things Are Di
 fferent\, a new major artwork by photographer Stephen King exploring the 
 connections between the many varied industries – glass\, chemicals and m
 ining - that have defined St Helens and their workforces. Launching St Hel
 ens 150\, a vibrant programme of cultural events and activities in partn
 ership with St Helens Council to mark the borough’s 150th anniversary 
 of receiving its Royal Charter\, King’s six large-scale photographs in 
 lightboxes will be installed on the banks of the Sankey Canal\, behind Wor
 ld of Glass\, reflecting the very heart of the town’s past industries.\n
 King has collaborated with workers from St Helens post-industrial communi
 ties to unearth the shared experiences that exist within these displaced w
 orkforces. The resulting work is a series of incredibly beautiful and sur
 real images that articulate the enduring memories of the events and encoun
 ters created by people’s working lives in some of St Helens most recogni
 sable industries.\nWhere Things Are Different is a project that attempts 
 to place equal credence between the logic of fiction and the logic of fact
  within the context of community. King attempts to illustrate overlapping 
 anecdotal fragments from close-knit St Helens communities and the tall-tal
 es that emanate from the shop-floor. Focusing upon the experiences that ar
 en’t documented in the form of books or curated in museums\, but ones th
 at only exist upon the lips of the people\, he asks the question ‘What r
 emains once a sizeable workforce vacates a site after many years of servic
 e?’ King explores the notion that places now take up space within the so
 cial experience as well as the memories\, stories and folklore held by a c
 ommunity.\nStephen King says of the whole process of making Where Things
  Are Different: “I'm sure that some of the stories told to me are histo
 rically factual\, but I’m also sure that the foundations of some are bui
 lt on sand! That is the nature of an anecdote\; it’s usually passed on. 
 These tales from the shop floor or of childhood events are generally remem
 bered and retold through a filter\, dependent on where or to whom it’s b
 eing told. The fact that a story is being told and shared is enough for m
 e\, it has already created a new place of its own.”
