Peter Liversidge - 1st Live Blog

I am writing this blog during the Peter Liversidge Exhibition Talk at PCA - 08/11/17

(This means that it will appear out of sync on the timeline of blogs, unless I can find another way to post this separately)

My expectations for this before it starts; after the Simon Morrisey (Curator) talk about the ‘We the People...’ exhibition, I am intrigued to see what it is that drives Peter not only for this work that he exhibited, but also in the other work that he has created.

Peter writes proposals for work on a typewriter - after graduating in 1996 computers were too expensive, so brought a Olivetti Lettera 35i - a portable aluminium bodied typewriter - sitting at his kitchen table writing proposals that then became the actual artwork. 

I love the idea of starting the process with something as tactile as a typewriter, the way the keys have a large depression, and the paper is left with a physical impression on the page along with the ink.

Proposals are eventually realised in different mediums later. The proposal is the work and isn't the work. Peter adds a lovely element to his work by trying to let it exist out of his control at as many stages as possible, from the people who frame his proposals, all the way to the way the audience engages in the work, takes it home or letting the conversations surrounding his work take place somewhere he never gets to hear them. This also allows the work to exist outside the gallery space it occupies as well.

All projects are published in an order as per the book that is created - for example - Proposal 15 “I propose we should all walk together.” - Thats it. This book determines the order they are also hung, the frame maker determines the pieces that are given coloured glass and it doesn't need to make sense.

The work is how you read them, but sometimes they are very specific, for example, the Kate Mcgarry, Neon Face, 2017. Neon face is the least amount of effort to make a signifier, smiley face. 

Costa Coffee cup holder, titled ‘mask’ 2013, Black Bronze.

Its clearly not an african mask, but the black bronze finish is natural to Byzantine, coloured by being under the ground for hundreds of years. This cup holder is fake in all its representations as a mask. But yet looks like a mask.

When at the Edinburgh Festival witnessed a lot of empty flag poles, liked the idea of placing something as menial as a ‘Hello’ on a flag, and it tells you nothing more, assumptions made and a feeling of secrecy ensues.

‘At this point and no other’ we are just seeing a photograph of the work, it is placed in Connecticut so we are not experiencing it, originated there and now in New York,

The importance of Context: with all of Peters work he drives down to the details of not only how he will create the work, but forming the idea is often the start of the experience for the audience as well. Where the work ends up is important, and this is shown with his sticker exhibition ‘Will History Be Kind, 2009′ - stickers that were printed and placed around Miami, New York and Kabul, Afghanistan.

“History will be kind for I intend to write it” - heard this quote from Winston Churchill and felt that it was arrogant and so created the sticker ‘Will History Be Kind’ - its place in Miami takes on a different meaning to the placement in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Free Signs: when you drive past someones property and there is a sign that states ‘Free’ - the items with it are free, but Peter decided to take the sign instead, but then in doing so it meant that people who had stuff outside, could be prosecuted for fly tipping, so made signs to replace the ones he took.

Text based work: Hello Sign that turns on when walking into a room. Thats all it is.

One of my favourite pieces from this talk was ‘The rules for Iceland’ - took a book from the Senate when in Washington and it was a list of rules for how you should act when visiting. Took this idea of taking rules from other places and combining them into a set of rules for somewhere entirely unrelated for where they were intended, textualising them into another environment. First one is you have to shower to enter a swimming pool, turned into ‘you have to shower before entering Iceland.’ One band had a rule about always dressing as a monk, no sharp objects is another one. 4000 posters were created and distributed all over the island - part of the experience, but completely made up. How people engage with the rules is completely out of Peters control.

**realisation that I have been writing proposals in my notes for the last five years but never doing anything with them because I take them too literal.

Great story about fake snow in New York...creating fake snow for the opening night of a gallery, in the middle of summer, but had the unexpected outcome of news reporters, reporting on a crash down the road, wondering what this snow was that appeared in the middle of summer. Again, an unexpected twist that isn't intended, but can only happen if Peter creates work that is free to travel or be explored in any way.

Tang Museum in Saratoga - 2013: Blood bank setup by red cross where people just came in and gave blood. That was the exhibition. The people giving blood, participate in the work. More blood was given in 6 weeks than 6 months. This was just a way into the museum, but they got a copy of the proposal, which meant they received the work. I found that this resonated with me the most as I believe that it highlights how art can cross over from not only the artists idea to the audience being engaged, but can then go further by helping to address a need within society. Its a beautiful thought to have that someone has received blood that potentially saved there life, that was donated as part of an artists installation. For me this highlights that Art can perform multiple functions whilst still maintaining the original intention of being an experience of the artists creativity or artistic expression.

The Bridge: Opening of Turbine Hall, Tate Modern, 2016. 500 singers from 24 different choirs, all singing in unison, to test the acoustics. Met with the plasterers, electrician, curators, directors, staff canteen, met with everyone associated with the opening of the Tate. Even an elderly lady who had never visited before. Turbine Hall was formerly a power station. Lady who attended had a personal connection as husband had been an engineer at the power station and had died two years prior. The question raised was how does the work connect to the building, and vice versa. Had to test with singing into the wall - found out that there is a 7 second reverb from the wall in the main hall.

Nutmeg Essence: found out that there was a history of people carving nutmeg, I believe he said in Massachusetts, so added nutmeg essence to the water that the fire brigade used when putting out fires, so for a 6 week period there was a smell of nutmeg in the air anytime they were called upon. 

Postal Carrier, The Aldrich, CT: Scherrell Miller, postal worker - Making the Postal lady the curator and part of the exhibition. Posted objects from London to the Aldrich and the lady at the local post office would receive it and then hand deliver it to the gallery and place onto the shelf, the control is then out of his hands. Had actually posted a piece of toast to his cousin as an 11 year old. Funny how this has come back around in his work. Scherell totally owned this in the end displaying the work completely differently to how Peter would have done it.

Anyone involved in Peters work is invited in advance. Interesting how this work becomes from the people, not professionals, and not about Peter or his ego.

Interesting that he took jobs when moving to London that he knew he didn't have to think in them, allowing him to work as an artist outside of it. This is what I have had to do by helping with carpentry. He had a sense of being an outsider as an artist - wondering is this good enough. The most important question is actually; why are you doing this?

He wants to be an outsider in his work and never wants to have a signature style, wanting to be as interested in his work as his audience will be. If others have to, he should too. 

Plymouth work motivation:

1300 black sanitation workers - Glenn Ligon, 

Completely different way of working for Peter - taking place in the old Council house - Civic Centre, in Plymouth as Part of Simon Morriseys ‘We the People’ Exhibition. Book that had 750 phrases, public come in and choose a phrase to go onto a sign, it gets painted and then turned into a protest board, members of the public are then allowed to take it away - the work is now the conversation that is exchanged from this point on. This is the part that Peter is not even aware of, as people talk to themselves, or the sign painters talk amongst themselves, or painters talk to the public. Altogether the phrases come from primary school children to elderly people. A lot of people went through the book looking for political statements. When considering what people chose you wonder where does it live now. Has a degree of separation from the work, he cannot worry whether people take a sign or not. Favourite sign is ‘I like proper art’ - so relevant as piece within this exhibition.

**Interesting moment when Peter passes his phone around in order for everyone to see a sign that was deleted. He gives out his passcode so people can see the photo.

I posed the question “does Peter think that there was a missed opportunity here to use this level of engagement to actually protest real current messages?”. His response is that he and I cannot be a voice on issues, it was placed into the public, it took place in the council house, it created engagement - he respects my opposing view, and I respect his open and honest answer - however - and I say this from a place less informed than Peter - do we not owe a debt to that child laid dying in the street in China to do what we can to help (this is a reference to Peter Singers Ted talk: The How and Why of Effective Altruism). Workers were paid to paint the signs, an old building gave space to the exhibition. Are we as a society given such privileges that we can look past moments to help in the name of ART - in believing that we have engaged people, have we engaged anything with consequence or meaning, influence or with the ability to affect change. I am trying to convince myself this summary speaks more to where my mind set lies at the start of this masters, and less of a reflection of this particular exhibition. Interestingly the defensive attitude of those who were part of the exhibition and not Peter himself, only confirmed my belief that this was a chance to attach some kind of call to action or message to the work, to utilise the engagement created. I will follow this up with a separate blog post outlining where my mindset is with this.

I found Peter engaging, his work inspirational, and approach both simplistic and steeped in depth. He certainly creates work that I look at and have every creatives worst nightmare of wishing I had thought of it.

Thank you Peter for an informative and motivational talk.

This is my response to Peter Liversidge's Art Assignment. A comic was the perfect documentation of the assignment because I had to literally imagine my feet in a mountain stream in order to illustrate this cartoon.

Everything is connected.

Comienzo este post con una obra de Peter Liversidge. Aunque no lo parezca en la foto, se trata de una escultura al aire libre que se encuentra en un parque de Yorkshire. Y es que ‘todo está conectado’.

Tras esta etapa Talentum de cuatro meses, ahora paro a pensar, cojo aliento y comienzo a marcar objetivos definidos en mi mandala personal con una premisa: aprender haciendo.

Afronto esta nueva etapa agradecida por todo lo aprendido pero, sobre todo, por toda la gente maravillosa que se ha cruzado en mi camino en estos meses de reprogramación. Gente que, sin duda, formará parte de mi vida a partir de ahora.

Agradezco muchísimo el mimo y el cariño que ponen en su trabajo todas y cada una de las personas que forman parte de la organización de Talentum Empleo. Encontrarse con gente con tanta pasión y ganas por luchar en su idea de mejorar el modo en el que se desarrollan las competencias, así como el cambio de mentalidad que pasa de la titulitis al más puro talento, ha sido todo un lujo. Muchísimas gracias Carolina por seleccionarme para esta aventura y muchísimas gracias Luz por estar ahí siempre y guiarnos en esta inmersión reprogramada.

Gracias Félix por tus magníficas clases de ruby que tanto han aportado a la hora de comprender este nuevo lenguaje, y a que gente de letras como yo hagamos click on rails.

Gracias Israel por hacer agile nuestra manera de trabajar y gracias Isra por organizar encuentros tan interesantes con profesionales de tan primerísimo nivel como tú.

Y como no, gracias Jane y Noemí por estas sesiones magistrales de habilidades personales. Sin duda, han ayudado al autoconocimiento y a replantearnos cada pequeña acción a modo de PAP (plan de acción personal) manteniendo el foco en el elevator pitch. Nos habéis dado muchísimas herramientas para poner en juego en nuestro día a día.

Millones de gracias a esas 24 personitas de la #firstgeneration por haber hecho de estos cuatro meses una etapa memorable. He aprendido muchísimo de todas y todos vosotros a todos los niveles y en todos los sentidos.

Ayer demostrasteis lo mucho que hemos avanzado en esta etapa de pura convivencia con unos proyectos de muchísima calidad y unas presentaciones geniales.

Sin duda, ‘todo está conectado’. Seguiremos trabajando en esta inmersión reprogramada.

[townhallhotel]

Back in 2010, local artist #PeterLiversidge created a book of 98 proposals based on the history of #TownHallHotel. Then in 2012, we asked him to realise a few of the proposals for us, including a series of Winter Drawings for Room 111, a guide to the local area and then this fabulous History Wall situated in our hotel lobby! -- 📷 by @chaiwalla who *fingers crossed emoji* we're hoping to work with on a couple of upcoming projects! Stay tuned! -- So what are your plans for the day?! We're currently on our way to @botanyshope5 and @triangle_store_hackney on Chatsworth Road... We've been meaning to pop by for a while now, and it seems the guys at Triangle Store are even having a yard sale this weekend! You should all go visit too! 👉 -- #TownHallCrier #UnlistedCollection #ULCexperience #townhallartworks (at Town Hall Hotel)
