UNeECC General Assembly and Conference, Liverpool, 16-17 October, 2008
The University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UNECC) has the pleasure to announce you the UNeECC General Assembly and Conference held on 16-17 October, 2008 in Liverpool, this year’s European Capital of Culture.
The title of the Conference is ‘Whose Culture?’. Please find registration details and the Programme of the Conference at the UNeECC website: www.uneecc.org
The deadline of registration is 15 September, 2008.
The Conference will be jointly hosted by Liverpool Hope University, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University. This unique collaboration clearly demonstrates how universities can and must contribute to the success of a European Capital of Culture programme.
The central theme of our conference is: Whose culture(s)?
University students and faculty, as well as cultural professionals active in past, present and future European Capitals of Culture will present papers in three different conference tracks:
1. European Capitals of Culture - whose culture? : high vs. popular culture;
cultural identity; centre vs. periphery; European culture vs. European (local?)
cultures.
2. European Capitals of Culture and their impact on culture(s): socio-cultural
impact of ECCs; ECCs as catalysts of cultural awareness; ECCs - fleeting events or
milestones?; ECC-bids, cultural competition and attraction.
3. Events and culture (non-academic track): Presentations about ECC-events and
cultural attractions of given ECCs.
The Liverpool conference will touch upon key issues emerging from the way culture is perceived and dealt with by the different stakeholders in European Capitals of Culture, e.g. cultural policy makers, the general public, local authorities, citizens, visitors and tourists, academics, artists etc. Given the academic objectives of the conference, presentations will focus on new insights into the functioning of European and international culture and the relevance of these insights for cultural policy makers.
Information and Registration
Online registration is requested on the UNeECC website: www.uneecc.org
The deadline of registration is 15 September 2008.

Martha Rosler Library at Site
Martha Rosler Library at Site
Private View: Friday, April 11, 2008 at 6pm
68 Hope Street, Liverpool
Comprised of approximately 7,700 titles from the artist's personal collection, the Martha Rosler Library was opened to the public by Anton Vidokle in November 2005 as a storefront reading room at e-flux, on Ludlow street in New York City. It has since traveled to Frankfurter Kunstverein, MuHKA, Antwerp, Unitednationsplaza, Berlin and Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Paris. The library will remain on view in Liverpool through 14 June and will travel to Stills in Edinburgh in the Fall.
"In an act of incredible generosity, one of America's most important living artists temporarily dispossessed herself of the vast majority of her personal library so that it could be made available for consultation. No borrowing was possible, but the eclectic ensemble of books on economics, political theory, war, colonialism, poetry, feminism, science fiction, art history, mystery novels, childrens books, dictionaries, maps and travel books, as well as photo albums, posters, postcards and newspaper clippings could be studied at will. Smart, decidedly political in orientation, often funny, and all over the place (in that way a perfect mirror of its owner), the library is packed with essential reading and titles that even your better bookstores would love to get their hands on. As the product of decades of avid reading, the contents of the library are both the source of Rosler's work and an installation/artwork that continues many of the concerns with public space, access to information and engaged citizenship that traverse her entire oeuvre."
--Elena Filipovic, Afterall, issue 15, Spring/Summer 2007
A personal library represents the private sphere of an individual, her way of acquiring and combining knowledge. Accumulation is the result of an intellectual inquiry that takes place in parallel with a more random search, which can lead us to unexpected textual, and therefore mental, spaces. Martha Rosler Library offers the visitor an opportunity to approach this open source of information with her or his own interests, and to create new affinities and connections between the elements of the library that add to more than the sum of knowledge contained in it. The bibliography, currently in process, can be accessed online at http://www.e-flux.com/projects/library
Talks
Martha Rosler Library project includes a series of informal public conversations, lectures and discussions which started in New York and continued at all its venues.
Saturday 12 April, 1pm: Martha Rosler and Anton Vidokle in conversation.
Tuesday 13 May, 6.30pm: Simon Sheikh, curator, critic, and director of critical studies, Malmo Art Academy, Berlin/Copenhagen.
Thursday 16 May, 6.30pm: Centre of Attention is Pierre Coinde and Gary O'Dwyer.
Monday 2 June, 6.30pm: Shepherd Steiner, art historian and theorist, and Maria Hlavajova, curator and director of BAK, Utrecht.
Admission is free. All are welcome.
Publication
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication including interviews with Martha Rosler and Anton Vidokle by Stephen Wright, and an essay by Elena Filipovic.
