Memory of a Hope
Ceri Hand Gallery, Liverpool
5 August – 3 September 2011
“Ideology collapses and vanishes, utopianism atrophies, but something great is left behind: the memory of a hope”, Henri Lefebvre.
Devised with gallery artist Matthew Houlding, this summer exhibition draws on a key text by Henri Lefebvre and the autobiographical writing of JG Ballard, reflecting spaces caught between construction, destruction and nostalgia.
Each gallery artist was invited to select two artists in response to Houlding’s concept. The resulting exhibition includes 36 artists and over 100 art works, including film, photography, painting, sculpture, text and audio work – much of it seen for the first time in the UK.
Andrew Graves, Angus Braithwaite, Anthony Shapland, Antoine L’Heureux, Bedwyr Williams, Clare Kenny, Dan Ford, Doug Jones, Eleanor Moreton, Elizabeth Rowe, Geraint Evans, Grant Foster, Henny Acloque, James Ireland, Jen Liu, Joseph Welden, Juneau Projects, Kim Rugg, Louise Bristow, Mary Griffiths, Matthew Houlding, Mel Brimfield, Mernet Larsen, Nevan Lahart, Nick Crowe & Ian Rawlinson, Peter Harris, Rebecca Lennon, Riccardo Baruzzi, Rita Sobral Campos, Samantha Donnelly, Simon Faithfull, S Mark Gubb, Stuart Edmundson, Tamy Ben-Tor, Tessa Power, Vicky Wright

Het Wilde Weten, Rotterdam, NL
27.11.2009
If distance was an object between us. Paper cut out on postcard. 2009.
Rowe presents new collages, sculptures and drawings made from material she has accumulated during her residency in Rotterdam. Using objects that she has found in the street, bought from second hand shops, newspapers, magazines and books, Rowe has processed the mass of stuff she has gathered by cutting up, reassembling or drawing over. The resulting works incisively interrupt different personal, political and historical realities, walking the line between irreverent and heart rending.
Het Wilde Weten, Robert Fruinstraat 35, 3021 XB, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
