New Art Exchange and Nottingham Trent University in association with The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool present “Lying-down-on-the-ground”A performance event devised and directed by artist Sonia Khurana @ Lime Street train station, Liverpool As part of Liverpool Biennial
Staged on the ‘sidelines’ of the larger art event, Khurana proposes to insert a provocation, by playfully inviting passers by to lie down on the ground. The bodies lying thus are continually documented, described or circumscribed. “Beginning literally, with affecting a change in the participant’s visual perspective, this simple act of lying down soon begins to resonate with multiple layers of oblique suggestions that are to do with dismantling the norms of protected life, ranging from resistance, friction, contamination, dispossession, to the absurd and the allegorical. Autographical traces drawn on the ground transform a singular act into a collective utterance.”
Opening Weekend: For the Liverpool Biennial, Sonia will work with students / volunteers to invite a mutual exchange of the experience of lying down in both, art or non-art contexts. Here “lying down..” is conceptualised to begin a performance event that engages passers by in a busy public space in the city of Liverpool, such as the Lime Street train station (other venues TBA) during the opening weekend of the biennial. Sunday 19th September 2010 Long night of the Biennial: This act will culminate in a live performance event on the Long Night of the Liverpool Biennial, Thursday 18 November 2010 at the Walker Gallery. Sunday 19 September 2010Admission: Free |

The Milk of Sorrow(La Teta Asustada)Film Screening (12)Dir: Claudia Llosa (Spain / Peru 2008)
Fausta is ill with a disease contracted from her mother’s breast milk known as “the milk of sorrow”. However, this is not a sickness caused by bacteria or infection: it is a condition that only affects those women in Peru who were abused or raped during the years of terrorist struggle. Although this horrific period is now history, Fausta is nonetheless a living reminder of this time. Her sickness is called fear - and it has robbed her of her soul. But then, when her mother suddenly dies, Fausta is forced to face her fears. (Dogwoof Films)

Slam (18)Film ScreeningDir: Marc Levin (100 mins)
Slam tells the story of Ray Joshua, an original, gifted young MC trapped in a war-zone housing project known as Dodge City. Unable to find a job, Ray copes with the despair and poverty of his neighbourhood by using his wits and verbal talent. While participating in a drug deal gone bad, Ray is caught by the police and sent to prison. When his lawyer explains the judicial system & his 'options' (or lack thereof) Ray despairs, particularly as he is being pressured to participate in a drug culture he has strived to get away from. But Ray's recent experiences have precipitated an awakening of sorts, and he sees the truth behind the game... Unwilling to believe that his options are limited to the choices he's being presented with, he makes the radical choice to retaliate with words, and speak the truths that he's witnessed. Winner of Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d'Or at Cannes.

District 9 (15)Director: Neil Blomkamp Film Screening
In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends
