SUMMARY:The Gallery Liverpool: The Gallery Liverpool: Foreign Trade - A cel
 ebration of queer migration
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Trade - A celebration of queer migration\n1-31 March 20
 19\nThe Gallery Liverpool presents an exhibition celebrating non British b
 orn LBQT artists who have chosen the UK as their home.\nStarting with the 
 arrival of Australian visionary Leigh Bowery in 1981\, DuoVision (Martin G
 reen and James Lawler) curate an exhibition exploring the cultural impact 
 and legacy of LGBTQI artists on the UK’s cultural landscape. The artists
 \, from a range of ages and backgrounds\, reflect on life in Britain befor
 e and after the Brexit vote.\nArtists featured include\;\n\n\n 	Gozra Loza
 no is a Spanish photographer who has worked with gay icons Marc Almond and
  Pete Burns.\n 	French performance artist Thierry Alexandre creates video 
 and photographic work about gender identity and illusion in response to th
 e English coast.\n 	Oscar nominated costume designer Michael Wilkinson and
  his partner Tim Martin chose to move to London from Australia 3 years ago
  and create rich cinematic exotic images based on travel and storytelling.
 \n 	Phillip Prokopiou is a young South African photographer who has create
 d work inspired by sculptures from the British Museum which have then been
  reimagined in both a queer and political context.\n 	Angelo Corsa moved f
 rom Italy to live in a small flat in Pimlico where he paints gloriously ri
 ch portraits of outlandish theatrical characters on pieces of hardboard he
  finds on the London streets.\n 	South African William Martin creates harn
 esses from ceramic chains that evoke both a sense of restraint and fragili
 ty.\n 	Dee Stanford also uses chains in her work. They are attached to lar
 ge metal spheres created by fusing tiny figures together. Her work is inte
 nse\, powerful and brilliantly sculpted.\n 	Ram Shergill and partner Daen 
 Huse push the boundaries of fashion photography to its limits and publish 
 work in their own magazine\, The Protagonist.\n 	New Zealand born painter 
 Jason Carr portrays figures from the gay community in both a realistic and
  romanticised way\, fusing queer iconography and gay eroticism.\n\nEach of
  the artists in the exhibition were recommended by other artists\, replica
 ting\, the curators Martin Green and James Lawler explain\, the strength o
 f the community they’re part of\, which is under threat by Brexit.\n“T
 here is support and solidarity amongst artists. Each of the artists featur
 ing in the exhibition have inspired their peers\, or have created work the
 ir peers want to be shown. This reflects the strength of the queer immigra
 nt community\, their support for each other and the unifying vision they h
 ave. It is these relationships we want to celebrate\, and how their charis
 matic cultural contribution has shaped the UK”.
