If I hadn’t already booked online to go on another Liverpool Art month bus tour yesterday, I probably would have sat in and watched TV all day. I felt like I was going down with something and on top of that, it was cold and wet outside.
I dragged myself out though, and like last week, I was glad I did.
The bus was full this time and we headed off to see the Bridewell’s ‘Possible Impossibilities’. (The exhibition in which I’m showing the paper building in the image with this post) It was good to see the exhibition for the first time and I’m pleased that the other work was so strong. This will probably be the last time I enter an open exhibition for a while at least, so I was glad to go out with this one.
Next stop was the Royal Standard…. for some reason, I’ve always found this space a little intimidating and the only time I’d ever visited before, was for an AIR meeting. It was an exhibition of film and video, and we were lucky enough to have the curator of this exhibition talk us through each piece. I was really impressed.
Matt Ford’s studio next…. artist- photographer Lu Lowe was taking shots of as many visitors as possible for her yearlong portrait collection ‘The Lowe Photo booth Project’, which she will show next year. I sat gloomily in front of her camera, regretting volunteering: (
As Look 13 (Liverpool International Photography Festival) is part of Art Month, we continued on to Drop the Dumbells to see Unfinished a series of colour portraits and landscapes by Rob Bremner, a freelance photographer.
I wished I’d had the energy to carry on seeing more exhibitions once the bus had dropped us off, but I was feeling really achy by then.
I’d achieved something on my day off though, so I can sit and vegetate in work today without feeling guilty.
I can also wait in anticipation to read the Liverpool Daily Post’s supplement on the Tate’s 25th Birthday. I did a phone interview with them the other day and am convinced I talked utter crap : (
