MERSEY: The River That Changed
The World |
|
|
MERSEY: The River That Changed The World
celebrates the impressive clean up of the Mersey
over the past twenty years. It will change the way
you think about the river that has played a
crucial role in the cultural, industrial, economic
and ecological development of England’s Northwest
– and the world. Award-winning photographer Colin
McPherson has photographed the River Mersey from
source to sea capturing a waterway which moves
from rural beauty to industrial decay to urban
regeneration. The exhibition also tells the
stories of people whose lives are entwined with
the river whether for employment, recreation or
inspiration. The exhibition is part of a
multimedia project that includes a book and
website, and was initiated by the Mersey Basin
Campaign.

In The Bag - An Exploration of Shopping |
|
|
Has shopping, in our culture, become a leisure
activity rather than a necessary chore? Retail
therapy is promoted as fun, yet our personal debt
is rising and the impact of our consumerism on the
environment is only now being widely recognised.
Our feelings towards this rather mundane task have
been shifting over the years and this project
seeks to explore the emotions and issues
surrounding this task. Artists from a range of
disciplines will respond to the bag they receive
and the random found, discarded or given object it
contains. The artists will produce a piece of work
which explores shopping and this collection of
work will form the summer exhibition. |
