Patrick Henry, Director of the Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool talks to us about its history, its activities and its future in a brand new space.
Open Eye started in the 1970’s and was based down in the Whitechapel area of Liverpool, in the Grapes Hotel by Victors the barbers. Liverpool was on the dole and the Open Eye was there to reflect the times of the once great city. Open Eye History
As the years have gone by the city has changed, and the now Open Eye GALLERY is still there reflecting the changes in the city.
In 96-97 the Open Eye moved from Bold Street, it;s home for many years to Wood Street – it had a new space and a new identity has emerged from that. Now in this its 31st year we talk to Patrick Henry it’s most recent Director about the past, present and the future for one of the cities best loved galleries.

This track contains all three audio files: Priest, Stalk and Childkiller. Performed by Mike Field, Julie Jones and Neil Morrin. Written by Paul Tarpey of Defnet Media, performed at MuseumMan, 68 Rodney Street, Liverpool. Additional audio a.P.A.t.T - www.apatt.com
Background
These stories emerged from a conversation with a.P.A.t.T, who had been looking to set up a performance of ghost stories with a different musician in different rooms of a house. We started to work together on a project where people would wander around the house and hear and see a different story within each room.
The works originally were intended to add flavour and atmosphere alongside video and music. If you walked into the room you would hear, not a story, just fragments of someones life and fears.
The limits of space and time meant that it became a performance in one situation, so they had to develop into stories with varying success.
They were performed with music from a.P.A.t.T and video from Adam and Tamasine Seibold in March 2006 at MuseumMan Gallery, 68 Rodney Street, which is no longer with us sadly.
This track is entitled Priest, performed by Mike Field. Written by Paul Tarpey of Defnet Media, performed at MuseumMan, 68 Rodney Street, Liverpool. Additional audio a.P.A.t.T - www.apatt.com
Each of the 3 tracks have been published separately on this site so you can listen separately on iTunes.
