Those in/near Liverpool this weekend (and those with interests in interactions with contemporary art) may be interested in this event at Bluecoat, for the Liverpool Biennial, which I'm contributing to. DH -- Mobile Academy presents: Blackmarket for Useful Knowledge and Non-Knowledge No 11 On WASTE: The Disappearance and Comeback of Things & Values an installation with 50 experts at the Bluecoat Sat 29 November, 8.00pm, check-in opens 7.00pm Free (one-to-one sessions £1 or €1 – no advance booking available) Mobile Academy, a project by Hannah Hurtzig with changing partners based at HAU, Berlin, explores radical forums for knowledge transfer. The long-awaited first Blackmarket in the UK is an interdisciplinary research on learning and un-learning that installs a temporary show and production space, where narrative formats of knowledge transfer are tried out and presented. 50 experts engage in 30 minute one-to-one sessions, the evening developing into a sort of hallucinatory community college. Blackmarket at the Bluecoat examines the moment at which the material world falls out of sync with its human creators and slides into decay. http://www.mobileacademy-berlin.com Presented in association with the Live Art Development Agency.
