  • The Art of Regeneration: the Establishment and Development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010
    The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jane Clayton School of Architecture, University of Liverpool August 2012 iii Abstract The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985-2010 Jane Clayton This thesis is about change. It is about the way that art organisations have increasingly been used in the regeneration of the physical environment and the rejuvenation of local communities, and the impact that this has had on contemporary society. This historical analysis of the development of a young art organisation, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT), which has previously not been studied in depth, provides an original contribution to knowledge with regard to art and culture, and more specifically the development of media and community art practices, in Britain. The nature of FACT’s development is assessed in the context of the political, socio- economic and cultural environment of its host city, Liverpool, and the organisation is placed within broader discourses on art practice, cultural policy, and regeneration. The questions that are addressed – of local responsibility, government funding and institutionalisation – are essential to an understanding of the role that publicly funded organisations play within the institutional framework of society, without which the analysis of the influence of the state on our cultural identity cannot be achieved. The research was conducted through the triangulation of qualitative research methods including participant observation, in-depth interviews and original archival research, and the findings have been used to build upon the foundations of the historical analysis and critical examination of existing literature in the fields of regeneration and culture, art and media, and museum theory and practice.

It should be redeveloped for high quality housing. This will respond to a critical need in South Liverpool. Housing use will enable the beneficial use of the listed building and redevelopment of City Campus (LJMU) the remainder of the site provides an opportunity to deliver high quality apartment development alongside large family housing, including 4 and 5 bedroom properties with gardens. The IM Marsh Campus comprises various university buildings, that range in age and quality, and three sports pitches. The buildings on the Site will be surplus to academic requirements, following the planned transfer of faculties to the Copperas Hill site in the City Centre. The buildings are relatively low quality both visually and physically, apart from two historic buildings. The previously developed land on the Site represents c.50% of the total Site area. The remaining Site area comprises sports pitches which LJMU are currently developing a strategy to relocate near to the City Centre Campus. These planned improvements are part of LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.

    Dr. Louise C. Platt Liverpool John Moores University Faculty of Education, Community and Leisure IM Marsh Campus Barkhill Road Aigburth Liverpool L17 6BD 0151-231-5280 [email protected] Louise Platt is Senior Lecturer in Tourism and Events Management at Liverpool John Moores University. She completed her PhD at Liverpool John Moores University in 2010 and prior to this, her MA in Arts and Museum Management at Salford University. Her PhD explored the performance of local identities in relation to the European Capital of Culture award in Liverpool 2008. Transformation and Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008 Abstract: Liverpool, in the Northwest UK, held the title of European Capital of Culture 2008, using the award to celebrate the culture of the city and position itself as a destination for tourism and investment. Using ethnographic research undertaken in 2008-2009, the chapter draws on the concept of ‘the subjunctive mood’ (Turner 1988) and notions of performativity (using Butler, [1990] 2006, as starting point). By undertaking participant observation I was able to understand how local people performed identities. The chapter argues that it may be that the year becomes part of the myth of Liverpool looking to regain greatness of a time gone by, yet, it is in the lived- identities of people that we see the, “the made-upness of culture” (Moore and Myerhoff 1977: 13). Of course this making up of culture is done so within power relations, and these relations are what makes the constitution of identity possible. In these spaces of ambivalence, transformation is made possible.
