Fabness truly is all around in Liverpool at the moment, for not only do the Fab Collective have our current exhibition Giraffe on display at St Luke’s (the bombed out church), you can also see our previous exhibitions in the windows of the former Lewis’s department store on Ranelagh Street, as part of the Shops Upfront project.
The display in Lewis’s windows includes:
- Up to something – our first exhibition from 2009, now updated to include new members’ work;
- Having a do – our popular exhibition from this summer; and
- Hollywood Homeless – an exciting display of photographs taken by the homeless community who took part in the Hollywood Homeless project, a collaboration between Urban Strawberry Lunch and the Fab Collective earlier this year.
All the pictures will be on display from 27th September until the end of November 2010.
Get up to something yourself!
We’d like to offer someone the chance to exhibit (and keep) a print of your own on the theme of the ‘Up to something’ exhibition.
We are looking for the best photos of Liverpool inspired by the following quotes:
“This city of contradictions contradicts itself. It never quite believes it can be what it wants to be.” Will Alsop, 2007
“Liverpool is a city you cannot feel neutral about.” Stephen Bayley, 2007
“You know what scousers are like, they’re always up to something. Please do not repeat that to anyone from Liverpool.” Jack Straw, 1999
“Liverpool is a haven for everything different.” Rosaria Crolla, 2007
“Indeed both sexes in this town are remarkable for their good looks and fashionable costume.” Samuel Sidney, 1851
To enter either:
- add your picture to the Up to something else Flickr group; or
- email a small version to: uptosomethingelse@fabcollective.com (max 1mb initially but if you win then we will contact you and ask for a larger version).
Please remember to include which quote the picture relates to. The best photo will be printed and displayed at a later date.
Closing date for entries will be 10th November 2010 and there is a limit of 2 pictures per quote, 10 in total.
