In their first major show as a co-operative, artists of the Material Matters collective present ‘Here To Become’: an exhibition of new contemporary art and series of events at the Bridewell Gallery from 7- 14th July 2023.
Angelo Madonna further explores his work on body-duality; Silvia Battista invokes ritual practice to imagine a mythological, speculative fiction; Patric Rogers presents a startling geological examination of human identity and John Elcock unveils a giant kinetic sculpture as a chilling metaphor for nuclear annihilation.
‘Here to Become’ is an Independents Biennial event responding to the theme of the 2023 Liverpool Biennial ‘uMoya: The Sacred Return of Lost Things’ which addresses the history and temperament of our city and its call for ancestral forms of knowledge, wisdom and healing.
