Gallery 1
FACT hands over the keys to the door and Gallery 1 becomes a social hub for meetings, discussions and workshops, allowing Merseyside grassroots networks to practice and imagine new models of governance and organising – live in the gallery space. Discover the very latest news on what will be happening in Gallery 1 and how you can get involved – http://climateforchange.fact.co.uk/
Gallery 2
FACT presents Melanie Gilligan’s film Crisis in the Credit System, a fictional four-part drama tells a story of five investment bank employees asked to brainstorm solutions to today’s dangerous financial climate. Berlin-based art duo Nik Kosmas and Daniel Keller (AIDS 3D) unveil Forever, a new installation alluding to a post apocalyptic future where our machines remain as beautiful relics of our former glory.
Media Lounge
Copenhagen-based art and architecture collective N55 set up SHOP, a unique exchange area with its own alternative economy, where visitors can swap, borrow or use donated items.
Public Spaces
FACT’s Atrium is the drop off point for The Ghana Think Tank. A collaboration between artists Christopher Robbins, John Ewing and Matey-Odonkor, and in partnership with FACT’s own tenantspin network, the project asks visitors to submit their problems which will be given to a network of Think Tanks established in Ghana, Cuba, El Salvador, Mexico, Ethiopia and Serbia to ‘solve’.
