TRADING STATION, Friday 21st September at Curve Gallery
TRADING STATION is POST’s second project. Exchanging with Istanbul, it seeks to uncover methods for artists to work together internationally, making the most of personal relationships and finding useful ways to develop work together using virtual methods. The interim results of this exchange feature in this exhibition at Liverpool’s Curve Gallery and showcase various responsive works developed within the exchange project.
Claire will premiere her four channel split screen film called ‘Watermark: An intervention in four directions’ which was produced during her two-week residency in Istanbul at the beginning of September.
