Monday 13 September
It's difficult to say when to start a blog, as although this week heralds the start of working together as a team for the first time, getting to this stage has taken a year of planning.
The four of us: Jane Hughes, Sue Meyerhoff Sharples, Christine O'Reilly Wilson and Wendy Williams, knew each other through the exhibition circuit. We liked and admired each others work and each had a strong exhibition background.
We knew from working individually on previous Biennials, that all venues in Liverpool get booked up very early at this time of year, so began the look out for spaces last summer.
We needed a venue that was large and airy enough to give each of us space around each of our works and it was fortunate that we heard about a new gallery opening at that time http://www.thegalleryliverpool.co.uk/
The gallery was booked for the opening month of the Biennial.....and the work began.
We wanted to change the look of the gallery space so that the emphasis could be shifted from its usual commercial use, to an Independent Biennial host venue.This meant shifting the temporary walls within the gallery to open the space and to change it's dynamics. We lost a day in terms of being able to hang the work because of this, but the results were worth it.
