🎨 Meet the Curators and Remember The Gallery Liverpool 🎨
@duovision_arts - aka @martin_green_sound and @jameslawler65 - are the curators of The Holly Johnson Story, in partnership with Homotopia and @museumofliverpool.
Here`s a lookback to their ground-breaking The Gallery Liverpool, a space that shone a light onto artists that had been overlooked. Over the years that included Caroline Coon @duggiefieldsofficial Marcalmondofficial @pamhoggfashion @jarvisbransoncocker and many more.
Martin says, “There are many artists who haven’t had the recognition they deserve and central to our work has been the ethos of casting a light on both the quality of the work they have produced, as well as making the artworld see them in a different light”.
“Too often in the artworld, people are put into a certain box early in their career and they stay there. If we do truly want to be both diverse and inclusive, we have to give people the freedom and ability to evolve through their life and artistic journey. The artist you begin your career as when you are young isn’t the same one you will be as you age. Giving the ability to document and exhibit that journey is a huge part of fully embedding the artist experience within culture”.
