As part of our recent conference in Chester and also forthcoming at the Liverpool Irish Festival, the Staging Beckett team are delighted to present\u00a0an exhibition of contemporary visual art and graphic design curated in collaboration with Matthew Johnson at Liverpool John Moores University, entitled \u2018Seeing Beckett\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea behind this exhibition is to attempt to visualise the sensation and affect of an encounter with Samuel Beckett\u2019s work, rather than just a literal representation of Beckett\u2019s characters. The images of artistic and \/ or applied visual research practice presented here engage with Beckett\u2019s drama, prose, letters, critical writing and \/ or poetry in many different ways. The makers of the visual works were able to present their own individual and personal take on any of the texts and the original work can be in any media, including three-dimensional, performance and film-based works, albeit remediated in a standard A3 size print. The exhibition consists of experimental projects, works in progress and \/ or existing works that have been re-imagined for this context.<\/p>\n

The exhibition can be seen at Liverpool John Moores University 27 October – 02 November 2014 as part of Liverpool Irish Festival.<\/p>\n
