Crossing: Nibelungen Bridge’ and ‘Space Between’ will be exhibited for the first time at The St Helens Open 2010, which opens Tuesday 16 November 2010.

Both of these works were created as part of the Urban Interventions residency that Claire undertook at Atelierhaus Salzamt, Linz earlier in the year. ‘Crossing: Nibelingen Bridge’ is a graphite drawing and was developed using film footage of people crossing this major bridge in the city.

‘Space Between’ is the result of an intervention in the exhibition Linz <-> Liverpool: How much Exchange can you stand? Claire invited visitors to the exhibition to carry an MP3 recorder between the two venues – recording their journey along the way. The resulting audio was transformed into visual soundwaves, layered and displayed as a lightbox.

Claire Weetman’s drawing ‘Passing, Watching, Waiting, Following II’ was selected from the Halton Open 2010, for Art Merseywide at Liverpool Conservation Centre. This exhibition draws 9 of the best works from each of the open submission exhibitions across the Merseyside area.

‘Passing, Watching, Waiting, Following II’ was produced as part of the POST exchange with artists from the city of Linz. It is a drawing produced during an intervention in the main square, that tracks and traces movement using graphite marks.

Art Merseywide has been extended from its original closing date – please check The National Conservation Centre website for details.
