A Foundation invites you to the last TAXED of 2009. This, the sixth in our series of events designed by locally based artists is a taxed version of Art in General's Slide Slam.
Curated collaboratively by a team drawn from partner studios and A Foundation, Taxed is an excuse and an experiment in increasing communication ...between artists/makers and organisers from the Liverpool arts community and beyond. In recent months we’ve ‘borrowed’ Sarat Mahar’s reading group format, Paul Butler’s Collage Party and Stadelschule’s week-long celebration of hospitality and food, Gasthof.
After 2009 the Taxed team will shut up shop for a while to re-assess the need for such events and think about directions to move in the future…
Thankyou to everyone who has been involved so far.
Our final Taxed event to round off 2009, The Grandest Slide Slam of Them All (taxed off Art in General) will take place exactly 10 months after we started the TAXED series with exactly the same event (kind-of). This time we call for presentations and information sharing not just from artists but from all kinds of creative practitioners, curators and organisers. We would like to know what artwork, exhibitions, shows and artists etc you look at for inspiration, research or enjoyment. What art makes you tick?
A Foundation’s artist committee is inviting twenty artists to each make a three-minute presentation. A Foundation are again seeking a critical audience, a collection of individuals willing to make their opinion of what they have seen - to probe, to scrutinize and to lay themselves as bare as those who willingly serve up their ideas as intellectual sustenance for the ravenous horde! But if you’d like to come along just to listen, that’s fine too.
All slammers will be confirmed in advance so if anyone is interested in presenting then drop an email to info@afoundation.org.ukRead More

OFF STREET
Curated by: Blanca de la Torre
Featuring Artists: Elena Bajo, Jacobo Castellano, Josechu Dávila, Democracia, , Maider López, PSJM and Avelino Sala.
Opening: 10 September 6-9pm. A Foundation, London.
Seven artists with radical strategies for engaging with urban space present works specially conceived for A Found...ation, London. The exhibition site, Rochelle School is a Victorian building located at the heart of the Boundary Estate Conservation Area, built in 1895 on a former shanty town. Following a brief summer research residency, the site-specific works create dialogues with this historic area of East London, its cultural and social specificities, and the community that inhabits it.
In order to remap the aesthetics of the social, the project reclaims the street as a social point of encounter. It claims the particularities of the urban through the vision of seven artists’ projects, a series of challenges or future topographies beyond the boundary of gallery and locality, that address issues such as; globalisation, corporate identity and democracy. The result is an exciting remix of the vernaculars of street art to expose the architecture of memory and meaning.
‘It is our most extensive international exhibition to date in our London space,”says A Foundation’s Director Mark Waugh
