The Liverpool Art Prize is an annual exhibition and award for fine artists based or born in the Liverpool City Region. This year Artinliverpool are working in partnership with Metal. The exhibition is taking place at the exciting new space for art, Metal at Edge Hill Station (the World’s oldest passenger railway station still in use). Also, from this year on the winner will have the opportunity to show at the Walker Art Gallery.The exhibition and prizes acknowledge the outstanding achievements of the artists and their contribution to contemporary art within Liverpool, as well as further afield. It aims to promote national awareness and discussion of contemporary art in the city and to support individual artists in developing their practices. Now that the Liverpool Art Prize is firmly established we are building on its success and working with the other visual art organisations to highlight other events involving locally-based artists during the period of the exhibition.

My ideas are informed by human relationships to image, disease, evolution, medical research, and advanced technologies of image production. I work collaboratively and have exhibited internationally at major museums and festivals. I am currently artist in residence at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. For the Art Prize I am exhibiting video documentation of my Cell Mass N2 installation and sketches for work in progress on two other large scale projects: ‘Wasted’ is a body of inter-related participatory artworks exploring the life-giving potential of ‘discarded’ body parts. ‘Quarantine’ involves a new video installation,atropical/medicinalgardenandthe development of a national sci-art lab.

My practice engages with the subject of History, its’ narrative interpretations and the interplay between factual and fictional strategies of representation. These concerns also tend towards the exploration offorgotten,marginalisedandsocially/politically disruptive occurrences. ‘NorthCanada–EnglishElectric’isafollow-on work from ‘Por Convención Ferrer’ (2007-08) recently shown in London & Budapest. A photo essay recording post-industrial topographies and an investigation into the origins of Photographic Stereoscopy are embedded into an allegorical tale dealing with the loss of identity, an attempt to overcome memory and the socio-economic anatomy of two particular landscapes.

n The paintings and drawings I am showing

for the Liverpool Art Prize 2010 have been created in response to Edge Hill station and the buildings currently occupied by Metal. This work attempts to bring together some of the narratives and histories, apocryphal and real that have been attached to the building, where past and present intersect.Amongst many possible points of departure, I investigate the waiting room as an interzone, a place of ‘in between’, of eternal waiting. Workmen descend into the Williamson tunnels beneath Edge Hill and First World War soldiers haunt the station.Figures manipulate model railways that travel nowhere except in the imagination of their controllers. I have a studio at the Bluecoat and am currently Associate Lecturer at Leeds College of Art and Design.

I currently make text, sound, video and film works that often focus on the presence of the historical past within the ‘voices’ of real and fictional individuals. The works have as their basis the unstable nature of individual subjectivity and identity in relation to place and history, and they often deal in particular with the difficulty of attempting to render historical memory in language or art. All of the works use or reference narrative forms such as short stories, songs, audio guides and letters. For the Liverpool Art Prize I am showing ‘La Décision Doypack’ a 16mm film transferred to DVD, commissioned by Radar and Matt’s Gallery.

My drawings, sculptures, installations and bookworks draw upon the metaphorical potential of architecture. Architecture is considered both as an emblem of humankind’s futile ambition for permanence and as a container for often vital components of personal memory and identity. Working site-responsively I embed transience within my works through propping, wedging, balancing and temporarily fixing. I am based at The Royal Standard in Liverpool. I recently took part in A Curriculum, a residency programme for eight European artists at A Foundation in Liverpool. Later this year I will exhibit at showreel.com in Milan and in 2011 my first solo show will be at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

We hope you enjoy the show which offers a broad range of media and styles which stimulate the imagination and senses. We would like to thank all the sponsors for their wholehearted support, the judges, the Curator, Jenny Porter and, of course, everyone at Metal for offering the space, facilities and great support.

Thank You Art.

Ian & Minako Jacksonwww.artinliverpool.com

Providing time, space and support to artists across disciplines has been at the heart of Metal’s ethos since Jude Kelly founded our organisation in 2002. The Liverpool Art Prize provides a vital platform for Liverpool’s visual artists to showcase their work through an exhibition that Ian and Minako Jackson have skilfully, in just two years, established as an integral part of the city’s cultural calendar. Metal has enjoyed a close relationship with Liverpool Art Prize during its first two years, inviting 2008 finalist Mary Fitzpatrick to exhibit at Edge Hill Station later in that year and in 2009, we were thrilled to see our artists in residence AL and AL win The Liverpool Art Prize.

Metal felt both privileged and excited to be asked to host The Liverpool Art Prize at Edge Hill Station and we are looking forward to continue working closely with Ian and Minako in future years. We welcome the chosen finalists, Gina, David, James, Paul and Emily to Edge Hill Station and a warm welcome to you also! We hope you enjoying seeing the artists work in the world’s oldest passenger station.
