Caravan Gallery

The Carvan Gallery at The Bluecoat

On Monday I went back to The Bluecoat to look at The Caravan Gallery (it was leaving that day so I had to visit again!) I thought it was quirky and original and was perfect for the Liverpool biennial. Inside it contained many images from around Liverpool. As I have lived in three different locations in Liverpool I recognised many of the locations. Some locations in the photographs I pass everyday, however thay have gone largely unnoticed by myself until I looked at these photographs. These images brought back random memories. I think it is a interesting link to my work, as with my table I am making the unnoticed somehow noticed. Just like the images in the caravan. I had a long chat with the artist who had captured these images, she said some images were just random sightings and that some things we deem as normal up here in the North would not be viewed the same in the South. (For example 'shrines' on lamposts were people have been killed in an accident). I love this little caravan, it depicits the desolate but also the satirical nature of Liverpool (along with a few other places in the North).
