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

7 @ The Anglican
7 @ The Anglican
27 March - 11 April 2008
Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, War Memorial Chapel (8am - 6pm everyday), free.
7 @ The Anglican is the latest exhibition of Liverpool based artists, the '7 @ Group'. After meeting and forming on the LJMU Fine Art course during 2006, the group, all of whom have recently graduated, have exhibited together numerous times across Liverpool. This latest exhibition at the magificant setting of the Anglican Cathedral, will see three new members, Alice Roberts, Kirsty Evans and Keiron Finnetty exhibit alongside six original members.
The artists are not brought together by a common theme or method of working, but by chance and are driven onwards by the spirit of exploration and collaboration. The relationships between the artists - whether intentional or co-incidental - and their dissimilarities are evident and both equally vital to the reception of the works.
This presentation of individual works within a group context offers singular contemplation of the work as well as a overall collective judgement. This double entendre allows both the uniqueness and disparateness of the works to be appreciated and the overall aims and desires of the artists to be acknowledged.
The 7 @ Group are;
Hannah Fray
Kirsty Evans
Jane Hughes
Keiron Finnetty
Kathryn Kimber
Anne Marie Prior
Alice Roberts
Becky Swift
Jack Welsh
