DESCRIPTION:An Independents Biennial Exhibition\n\nAbove Us Only Sky?\nTony Phillips\n\n\nMultiple locations between Bluecoat and the Bombed Out Chur ch\n\nTony’s art trail\, ‘Above us only sky?’\, surveys the developm ent of the aeroplane through a series of historical events\, from 1903 to the present. Consisting of 19 hand-painted panels and a fresco\, the trail removes the aircraft from its mundane present-day context and elevates it as a symbol in a style reflective of religious imagery\, allowing for a n ew kind of objectivity on the subject.\n\nThis form also reflects humanity ’s increasing preoccupation with\, and glorification of technology\, and in turn alludes to the duality of human progress – with the aircraft be coming synonymous with both the ecstasy of adventure and the horror of war fare.\n\nThe trail\, beginning in the Bluecoat courtyard on School Lane\, and leading up to the Bombed Out Church and back\, seeks to link two vital parts of Liverpool’s heritage: two important institutions in the socio- cultural regeneration of the area\, with St Luke’s acting as living test ament to the themes revealed in Tony’s images.\n\nThe ‘20th Century Ch apel’\, a series of murals within St Luke’s\, depicting the events of the last 120 years\, forms part of the trail and builds upon the narrative disclosed by the history of flight.\n\nFollow Tony’s interactive map on the website\, or the walking trail below\n\n\n\n \;\n\nAbout Bluecoa t:\n\n \;\n\nBluecoat is Liverpool’s contemporary arts centre\, a wo rking home for artists\, and a place where audiences can experience art in new ways.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2025/07/tony-phillips-above-us-only-sky-1.avif CATEGORIES:Exhibitions LOCATION:Bluecoat\, School Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United K ingdom GEO:53.404542;-2.984173 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=School Lane\, Liverpool\, L 1 3BX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bluecoat:geo :53.404542,-2.984173 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
