AIR member to exhibit with POST, a collective of seven female artists that emerged from Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture in 2008.
The exhibition riPOSTE at Liverpool’s Bluecoat Gallery (to 20 June) showcases the work of POST alongside that of seven invited female artists from Linz, Austria – European Capital ofCulture 2009. riPOSTe explores cultural differences and investigates common themes
including place, identity and mortality. By undertaking research trips between the partner cities, riPOSTe places importance on nurturing new relationships, engendering collaboration and the development of individual’s artistic practice.
Although the product of riPOSTe is an exhibition in both cities, the process of exchange involves a journey and a dialogue between the artists – this is of utmost importance to all POST projects. Continuing this practice, POST’s next exchange will be with Istanbul – European Capital of Culture 2010.

Performance company Quarantine's 'The Soldier's Song' (Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester, to 4 July) is a powerful video installation made with, and about, currently serving soldiers. Visitors are invited to sing a duet with the soldiers in a karaoke booth, quietly challenging our preconceptions and asking us to consider our connection with an individual who might fight in our name. Exchange is crucial for POST, a collective of seven female artists. For riPOSTe (Bluecoat, Liverpool, to 20 June) the group are exhibiting with seven female artists from Linz, Austria. Place, mortality and identity are just some of the themes infusing this powerful collaboration.
