STILL is an exhibition of new work made by artists in relation to the economics, politics, ownership and contested nature of global water supplies in the era of climate change. Water is all around us, yet increasingly we need to take steps to conserve our supplies of it and become aware that we cannot just leave the tap running.
In our every day lives we take water for granted as a supply from the tap, a place for leisure and as a basic human right. Over the next forty years, predictions suggest that water will be as contended as oil now is in the post-industrial and developing countries. The artworks broadly touch on our relationship to one of our most important commodities.
The exhibition at Metal, Edge Hill Station includes contributions from sound artist Peter Cusack, previous Liverpool Art Prize 2010 finalist Gina Czarnecki‘s, photographer Simon Norfolk, award-winning artist Paul Howard & award-winning writer and journalist David Matthews, Canadian Artist and Film-maker Annette Mangaard, and Liverpool Art Prize 2011 winner Markus Soukup,
Still also incorporates commissioned new writing and excerpts from existing texts on personal connections to important rivers and waterways in the UK, including contributions from Roger Deakin, Bronac Ferran,Tom King, Deborah Mulhearn and Rob Smith.
