I’m back using Artists Talking, as I’m on another intensive residency, this time in Shanghai. But I thought I’d tell you about the continuation of Trading Station since the last blog.
We published issue 2 of our newspaper, and managed to get about half of the copies back to Liverpool from Istanbul. Our Turkish guests Nancy Atakan and Gulcin Aksoy came to Liverpool and exhibited at Curve Gallery during the Liverpool Biennial. We talked, debated, discussed, made art, walked around the city, went (nearly) to the beach and ate together.
Nancy and Gulcin have gone home, Robyn Woolston has been to Istanbul for her residency period, and we’ve worked together to create our third issue of the newspaper. It was a push to get all of the content together before I left for China (I’ve got the skills to do the page layouts, so we needed to be sure that it was finished before then), but we did it, and it should be being printed today.
We decided to profile the work that was exhibited at Curve Gallery, along with some contextual background provided by the artists, plus some of the outcomes of the discussion that we held at Curve on the 22 September.
