Conceived by DaDaFest, curated by Aaron Williamson and delivered in partnership with the Bluecoat, Liverpool. The exhibition runs from 8 November 2014 to 11 January 2015 as part of DaDaFest International 2014. The exhibition addresses the idea that both art and life are in a state of continual change and uncertainty. Its starting point is the practice of alchemy, taking its magical, transformative and experimental associations as a template with which to consider practices employed by contemporary artists. Containing 9 new commissions, 6 reworkings of earlier pieces adapted especially for the exhibition and 28 artists from the UK and abroad, ‘Art of the Lived Experiment’ will include sculpture, film, installation, painting, prints and performance works. Also included will be artifacts relating to the lives of Isaac Newton, Franz Kafka and Jonnie Ray. Serious yet playful, it responds to themes pertinent to the disability festival and the lives of us all, such as subjectivity, the everyday, transformation and experimentation. New works include ‘Gold Lamé’ by Tony Heaton - a souped-up Invacar (invalid car) transformed into a shiny gold bauble; a durational performance by Brian Catling throughout the opening week of the exhibition; and Simon Raven’s ‘Headspinners’ mannequin installation facing out onto a busy shopping street through the gallery’s huge windows. Australian Mike Parr is traveling to Liverpool to create new prints for the exhibition. Reworks include a film about the vacuum cleaner’s self-made mental health institution, ‘Ship of Fools’, Katherine Araniello’s video of her negotiating the cobbled streets of Liverpool’s Albert Dock in her wheelchair and Juliet Robson’s exploration of radically different perspectives using tape markings on windows.
