Dyingfrog Presents - About the Artists
Claire Weetman
Claire investigates ways of showing movement through a visual medium. For this show, she is presenting a series of graphite on tracing paper studies along with drawings produced directly onto glass in the exhibition space.
The paper in the graphite drawings was placed over a TV screen, and marks were made in response to the movement behind the paper resulting in an overlaying of images and lines. The drawings that are made in the exhibition space follow a similar premise, the lines are in response to the movement of people and figures beyond the glass; the subject matter will pass through the artist’s picture plane and the drawing aims to show the movement of those figures.
Fanchon Frohlich
Fanchon started “Collective Phenomena”; an international group of painters working in collaboration on the same surface accompanied by live or taped music. Performances have taken place in Paris, London and Liverpool, and involved artists from the UK, Ireland, America, France, Italy, Taiwan and Georgia.
Fanchon was born in Iowa, USA. She now lives and works in Liverpool.
Lucia Cipriano
Lucia plays with gender biases and notions of cultural territory in the interactive piece ‘Wallflower’. Will the wallflower ‘sit out’ or be asked to dance, or will it be found growing wildly on the walls, rocks, and cliffs?
Born in Montreal, Lucia Cipriano is a Portuguese-Canadian Artist living in London, England. Her practice is a socially engaged project that asserts the significance of the specificity of lived embodied experience of everyday realities and contexts. It is often event-based and participatory, including public interventions and live-art processes where questions, identities, and knowledge are disturbed and explored rather than confirmed. She has shown work in Canada, Brazil, Italy, Japan, the U.S, and England.
Frakture are a Liverpool-based, free improvised music group. They were established in 1997 to promote concerts and workshops in free improvisation. The make-up of the group varies with each performance. Frakture has brought together musicians from around the world in collaborative performances.
