Exhibitions & Events March – May 2013 Keywords Exhibition 27 March – Words stay the same but their use often 18 May 2013 changes. These cultural shifts in society fascinated Raymond Williams, who in 1976 published the seminal book, Keywords Keywords — a vocabulary of culture and society, in which he analysed the use and meanings of over a hundred words such as anarchism,originality, genius and democracy. From March 27, 2013, Iniva presents a programme of exhibitions, lectures, film and learning projects in partnership with Tate Liverpool, expanding Williams’ studies of words into three - dimensional form. Keywords draws on loans from Tate Collection and explores words through works of art. The works date from 1976 focusing on material from the 1980s and early 1990s, including a frieze commission by Luca Frei and Will Holder. Keywords Lectures examine terms such as Equality, Theory and Sex, and Keywords Investigations invites you to explore your own words as part of a 10 – week workshop series. Keywords continues at Tate Liverpool in 2014. Artists include: Sonia Boyce, Willie Doherty, Rita Donagh, Sunil Gupta, Mona Hatoum, Lubaina Front and back cover: Stephen McKenna, An English Oak Tree, Himid, Inventory, Derek Jarman, Louis Le Brocquy, 1981, © Stephen McKenna,courtesy Tate; Sunil Gupta, Heaven, from the tape-slide Gustav Metzger, Donald Rodney, Guy Tillim, David project London Gay Switchboard, 1980, 35mm, colour slide projection, © Sunil Gupta, Wojnarowicz, Stephen Willats and Carey Young. courtesy of the artist.
