WCS Presents | As part of Liverpool Art Month WCS Presents SPECTRUM: 15 solo exhibitions, with 5 Liverpool based Artists, Duos and Collectives from various stages of their careers, exhibiting each week.
A hugely eclectic, unique and exciting roster has been formed that will exhibit work that together spans the myriad of practice, process, medium and concept that makes up the landscape of creative practitioners in a 'post-08' Liverpool.
Noisy, political, personal, humorous, intelligent and determined – a reflection of the city’s current creative community.

LUCKY DRAGONS
WCS Presents | Lucky Dragons are about the birthing of new and temporary creatures; equal power situations in which audience members cooperate amongst themselves, building up fragile networks held together by such light things as skin contact, unfamiliar language, temporary logic, the spirit of celebration, and things that work but you don't know why.
Lucky Dragons have managed to create a completely new strand of west coast American Psychedelia - Frieze. Challenging stereotypes that electronic music is cold and sterile, Lucky Dragons' live show…is a truly great celebration of the human spirit, giving real hope for the techno-future our society is racing toward - Artforum
