Research by Jo Derbyshire: From When the City Speaks to the Loft
Space Programme.
Since January 2007 and soon to conclude in April 2007, Jo Derbyshire, as Curator, has platformed many different local and international artists in the Loft Space Programme. This was a research initiative to examine art and culture in the constructs of an urban space in Liverpool, England. The impetus to this curatorial project was inspired by her own previous creativity in live art interventions in a gallery context and extended to different locales in the public arena. These concepts of time, space and transition have formed an strong element in the ideologies, theories and practices of her art, including her abstract expressions through gestural mark making in paint. The philosophies extended to live art and other visual dialogue. Moreover, how socio-cultural parameters shift and influence the art produced and consider factors of an intrinsic and extrinsic nature of shared cultural experience. The culmination of the Loft Space Programme was born from the live art of When the City Speaks. A collaborative performance piece, which allows for artist and audience participation. This has been presented in Liverpool and London in various urban and cultural spatial structures and evolved to allow for creative diversity and development.
The publication being compiled and drafted by Derbyshire is formulated from the dialogue with associate artists from Transvoyeur (Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney (Associate Writer) and Tony Knox (Photograph Editor) and many other professionals, including contributions from Kof Fosu Forson (Writer, Artist and Philosopher in New York, US). It is proposed to be published in collaboration with Erbacce and editorial support by Andrew Taylor, who is Editor for Erbacce and the Artist in Residence to the Loft Space Programme. The proposed end publication is an archival source and critique from When the City Speaks to the Loft Space Programme. In conjunction with this, Andrew Taylor, who is an acclaimed independent and published writer of several publications, is compiling a literature review of the Loft Space Programme, which will annotate his experiences of the exhibitions as Artist in Residence over the duration. This will be combined with a new series of prose he has developed inspired by the concept of art in the urban space. Dates of release of these publication will be announced. For
