All Change garnered and borrowed five artists from the rain-soaked cobbleways and warrens of Manchester’s Rogue Artists Studios, to the seagull squawked, windswept sea air of the industrial sanctuary that is Liverpool’s The Royal Standard. In exchange eight Royal Standard artists juttered eastways to reciprocally hydro-charge a solidified dialogue.
Magnus Quaife and David Gledhill adopted images scoured and pilfered from small town Europe, here and the internet, while Dave Griffiths presented speed drenched, flashpoint cue-dot epics born out of pseudo-astronomical impulses. Andrea Booker rehashed signage wharf-ratted from beyond warehoused Manchester into new scrabbulated narratives; whilst notions of uncovery and scurrying fascinations with material matter were also evidenced in Maeve Rendle’s photographic sequences of now absent-sculptural formulations.
