NB Spaces will be available on the door for this event.

Redeye's Lightbox programme worked with 22 up-and-coming photographers across four groups to produce collaborative photographic projects which are exhibited as part of LOOK/13 Liverpool International Photography Festival. The groups responded to the festival theme of 'Who do you think you are' in a range of different ways, and have produced site-specific work at venues across Liverpool.

Redeye is very pleased to present the work of these four groups at a networking event on 17 June 2013 at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation from 19:00 (doors open 18:30). The evening will consist of short presentations from each of the groups with the opportunity for questions.

The event is free to attend but registration is required. Please scroll down to register.

Here are more details about each group:

Blind Spot Collective’s show Stranded revisits the stories of retired Royal and Merchant Navy seafarers who served during the Second World War.
Using this year’s 70th Battle of the Atlantic commemorations and LOOK/13 Festival’s conceptual theme ‘Who do you think you are?’ as a backdrop, members of the Blind Spot Collective will explore these stories through a range of photographic practices. Wall art will be displayed as well as banners visible from a docking station and hanging from The Mersey Planet Light Vessel, now a museum and beacon to the Merseyside Maritime Heritage. The Planet or LV23 Light Vessel as it was known on its station in the English channel, was the last Manned Light Ship on the Mersey Bar and the last Manned Light Vessel on the English Channel.

The Lamp Post Collective emerged from five experimental photographers' shared desire to display photographic art in a different way to that usually seen behind glass in a gallery. Inspired by the use of lampposts and billboards, their aim was to create work that engages with a broader public and resonates with the surrounding environment. The collective's work is created specifically for The Brink in which the show is displayed. Some works will be shown hanging from girders and others in birdcages hanging from the scaffolding, which forms an integral part of the venue.

As part of LOOK/13 Possessed will use their venue as a swap shop. The space is used to display images of possessions they have given up. Visitors will be challenged to give up their objects/possessions to be displayed in photographic form with the space. If visitors are prepared to give up a valued possession, they will receive a photograph and the image will also be displayed online and within the exhibition space. Any possessions received will be donated to charity. Swap shops take place on 18, 19, 22, 29 May and 9 June 2013 at 81 Renshaw Street – everyone is invited to bring a possession to swap.

Fabricate Collective’s group show, If Truth Be Told…, is a diverse exhibition that explores the boundaries between fact and fiction: what is real and what is not real. Memory and identity, history and experience are just some of the themes developed through a range of visual media - photographs, maps, books, found drawings and text.

Doors open at 18.30 for networking and refreshments. Talks start at 19.00.

Advance booking closes 16.00 on 17 June 2013.
