TRADING STATION issue 1
TRADING STATION offers a platform for physical and online sharing for the development and production of creative, pan-European dialogues rooted within exchange. Liverpool and Istanbul, twinned by Capital of Culture status, are the locations for TRADING STATION. The 9 artists involved will share ideas and experiences physically through travel and making art works, and will exchange images, text or audio virtually via social media.
TRADING STATION is POST's second project, it seeks to uncover methods for artists to work together across different countries, making the most of personal relationships and finding useful ways to develop work together using virtual methods. 17 May 2012 sees the launch of the first of four newspaper publications, which provide a space to share the development process of this exchange model with a wider audience in both Turkey and the UK. The results of this exchange process will culminate in an exhibition at Curve Gallery during Liverpool Biennial 2012.
POST’s five aims for TRADING STATION are:
1. To set up both virtual & physical spaces and times for TRADING STATION
2. Further POST's work in the field of professional female art practice
3. Develop individual practice & interdisciplinary methods
4. Develop the legacy of European Capitals of Culture
5. Make our processes and outcomes transparent

Invisible City, work in Schiedam, NL by Claire Weetman
POST member Claire Weetman recently travelled to Schiedam, Netherlands to produce a new performance drawing at an event called Invisible City. This event, held at Ruimte in Beweging, brought together artists and performers and saw Claire produce three new drawing interventions.
Motus:Immotus is a development from the work 'Passing, Watching, Waiting, Following' and 'Static:Moving' which were produced on Hauptplatz, Linz as part of POST's riPOSTe exchange in Austria. Claire has since been awarded an Artists Access to Art Colleges residency with Salford University where she will develop Motus:Immotus for a UK audience.
You can read more about Claire's work in Schiedam on her a-n blog.
New work in Schiedam was supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
