The exhibition is being run by Artist and Curator (Egg Space, Liverpool) by Tony Knox. The show will start at 3pm and will showcase the talents of GPW in a 3hr show. The show will see the GPW debut of the Moth Man, a character devised by Tony Knox as his work looks at "the iconic and idealised in the human condition, something which influences contemporary life, particularly in our consumerist society. This has been reflected in a series of images, ‘Super Heroes’". Confirmed thus far: Damon Leigh, Lee Butler, Tj Cain, Heresy, Ruffneck, THE MOTH MAN, Damage Control and Joey Hayes + many more! We hope to see there. More information about the show and Tony Knox can be found at:
« Daisy Delaney's back in town | Main | There's lots of them
around » This was the second live webcast from SPLICE but the live webstreaming
wasn't working so the only way to see it was to be there. This featured
the 'Graduates 04' artists and others including afoundation people
discussing things like the support independent artists have had,
the current art scene in Liverpool and what happens next. Perhaps
they should have also debated the merits of holding a live debate
in the same room as a live wrestling tournament! Maybe they did
but it was drowned out by the sickening thuds of huge wrestlers
being thrown onto the canvas. This picture isn't actually MothMan, he buzzed around so fast my
pictures are just a blur. The long-awaited event was quite a success,
several GPW wrestlers put on a good show in front of a lively audience
many of whom would not normally venture into an art gallery. I'm
afraid I couldn't watch more than a few seconds at a time, my already
nervous state was greatly increased when I noticed the huge ceiling
beams were only a few centimetres above the fighters heads! But
apparently not too much blood was spilled. I don't even know if
MothMan won his bout or who his opponent was but I recorded a short
mpeg vid of the start of the fight which you can download (its 6mb
so might take a while) mothman.mpg Posted by Ian Jackson on October 24, 2004 03:03 PM | Permalink (If you haven't left a comment here before, you may need to be approved by the site owner before your comment will appear.
