Exhibition
Institute of Temporary Art
Div/sion of Power
Opening 16th November
Exhibition runs from 17th - 25th November
Liz
West will be part of 'The Div/sion of Power' exhibition, curated/hosted
by the Institute of Temporary Art at Didsbury Parsonage Trust. West
will be making a new performance work on the opening night... don't miss
it!
West
states, "As a live performance I want to arrange my vast collection of
single-coloured objects inside Didsbury Parsonage. I will respond to the
space around me when assembling my collection. After I have finished my
arrangement (using my own systems) I will open the work up for public
engagement. I would like other people to arrange my collected objects
using their own invented systems. Others could potentially use
alternative spaces, tactics and select or deselect objects. This work
questions how we each make choices, selections and categorise the
everyday. Using found objects (recognisable from the world around us),
each person reinvents the objects’ identity by including it in this
ever-evolving work."

Exhibition
Cornerhouse
Four
Opening 25th January
Exhibition runs from 26th January - 24th February 2013
Liz is pleased to announce that she will be part of FOUR,
an exhibition of four new commissions specifically created for the
Cornerhouse show including work by Tristram Aver, Nicola Ellis, Kate
Sully and Liz West. Curated and developed by Cornerhouse’s Young
Curators team, three talented people from the Greater Manchester region,
FOUR will feature inspiring and thought-provoking art that has been carefully selected from over 600 international applications.
West's
new work will reference the domestic, presenting the vessel of a
second-hand wooden wardrobe allowing the viewer a glimpse through the
partially open doors. Inside, a video work will be mirrored to infinity,
creating an immeasurable landscape within the wardrobe, alongside an
endless expanse of single-colour objects that will glimmer and entice
audiences to look further. The piece will continue the artist’s
investigation into the use of physical constructs to experience the viewer’s own emotional and psychological relationships with colour.

Blog
WEYA After Ours

Ongoing
Liz
West (UK) and Alana Tyson (Canada/UK) met at World Event Young Artists
(WEYA) in Nottingham as two participating visual artists. After spending
10 days together at WEYA, they formed a close friendship and joint
interest in the future of each other's careers. Both share many
interests, one being obsessive behaviour, which is often implemented in
the making of their work.
Liz
and Alana intend to share their thoughts post WEYA on this blog:
explaining how the World Event has helped them, discussing future
exhibitions/works and inviting other WEYA artists to guest blog and join
in the fun.
