The exhibition, as with last year’s Degree Show on Mars is a response to the current moment. A year on from the first lockdown, this exhibition is a return to earth. Taking, in part, inspiration from the language that video games and Netflix have enveloped us in, the exhibition infers lockdown exhaustion and takes place in a series of virtual fridges. In addition, during the exhibition’s run week by week, artworks will be recommended by a number of global leaders and personalities in the artworld, prizes selected by the Directors and curators of Tate Liverpool, Bluecoat and the Liverpool Biennial, along with a series of residency prizes at the Royal Standard, CBS studios and Bidston Observatory.
A year ago, a fridge was brought into the Fine Art studios with a view to it becoming a Gallery. Fridge doors are, after all, where most of us first exhibit our artwork. The various lockdowns meant that this fridge never realised its potential to house an ongoing series of exhibitions throughout the year. Instead, while that gallery-fridge was confined to long-term storage in the studios, we have been confined to our homes, where we have been obsessing over our own fridges and their contents.
