Exhibitions - what's on in Spring 2004Compiled by Colin Serjent In what promises to be a packed and top grade programme
of exhibitions taking place in Liverpool up to Easter, one of the highlights
is the work of George Barber featured at the Open Eye Gallery.
In the early 1990s, Barber moved away from the ethics of Scratch Video
and created many low tech video pieces. Following this exhibition, which runs until 6 March, the Open Eye then
stage 'Night Porter' by Chris Shaw. They are photographs he took while
working as a night porter in a London hotel over a ten year period. Elsewhere on the exhibition circuit in Liverpool, the Tate Gallery is
currently displaying the large- format paintings of Michel Majeerus, who
was a key figure amongst a new generation of artists emerging from Berlin
in the 1990s. Other exhibitions worth seeing are 'Primetime' by Bjorn Melhus at the FACT Centre - it is the first solo exhibition to be presented in the UK by the pioneering German video artist (it runs until 7 March); the abstract expressionist paintings by Liverpool artist Sue Milburn in a collection titled 'Reflections' at the Smithdown Road based Urban Café (it ends on 29 February); and 'Wilde's People' featuring work by Matt Wilde at Ken Martin's View Two Gallery until 6 March. |
