He will spend some time with us to speak about the new constellations and introduce us to the interactive aspect of it.\nMike Pinnington has been Content Editor at Tate Liverpool since 2013 . Coordinating and delivering a coherent interpretation and information st rategy relating to Tate Liverpool’s contemporary and modern art programm e\, he is responsible for shaping the way the institution talks to its aud ience both in and beyond the gallery.\nPrior to that he co-founded The Dou ble Negative magazine with Laura Robertson in 2011\, which is a respected platform for contemporary arts criticism and practice from across the UK. He is a trained journalist who has written freelance for The Art Newspaper \, The Guardian\, Aesthetica Magazine\, Garageland Magazine\, a-n and Crea tive Tourist\, and co-wrote and edited The Designist (2012). He has guest lectured at various universities.\n\n\nArt Club &\; Constellations: \n\ nHighlights from the Nation’s Collection of Modern Art\n\nThis winter Ta te Liverpool unveils a new display featuring more than 60 works from the T ate collection. With pieces by some of the greatest modern and contemporar y artists\, it includes L.S. Lowry\, Piet Mondrian\, Robert Delaunay\, Pab lo Picasso\, Camille Pissarro and Sarah Lucas.\n\nThese new groupings of w orks form part of Constellations: Highlights from the Nation’s Collectio n of Modern Art. Taking a fresh look at the connections between artworks i n the Tate collection\, each grouping\, or ‘constellation’\, is focuse d around one particular piece that has relationships with a variety of mod ern and contemporary artworks. Two works triggering the new displays are L .S. Lowry’s Industrial Landscape 1955 and George Grosz’s Suicide 1916. \n\nMost famous for his scenes of mid-20th century life\, Lowry’s painti ng Industrial Landscape 1955 is typical of the urban town and cityscapes t hat he painted throughout his career and reflects the North West’s indus trial history and heritage. Although it is an imaginary composition\, elem ents of the view are recognisable as real places\, for example the Stockpo rt Viaduct.\n\nEach constellation has its own word cloud\, made up of a se t of key words that suggest the connections between the works in the displ ay. Offering a visual snapshot of the shared characteristics within each c onstellation\, traits that are most common appear larger. Words selected b y the curators of the Lowry display are as follows: labour\, realism\, sys tem\, city\, crowd\, individual\, class\, fiction\, economy\, perspective\ , migration\, production\, activism\, industry and geometry.\n\nWhat makes this constellation different is that you can add in your own words via sm artphone or tablet (don’t worry if you don’t have one\, we have one fo r visitor use in the gallery) to alter the make-up of the word cloud by us ing a quick and easy web form\, which we can go through together. If you h ave any problems or questions\, please ask a member of staff.\n\nConstella tions is a unique presentation of the Tate collection that has been introd ucing visitors to both familiar and unfamiliar artists since 2013. Continu ing in the gallery are constellations featuring pieces by artists includin g American contemporary artist Glenn Ligon (b. 1960)\; British sculptor Ba rbara Hepworth (1903 –1975)\; German artist Joseph Beuys (1921–1986)\; French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010)\; and American ph otographer Cindy Sherman (b. 1954).
