FURTHER DOWN THE LINE

 

FURTHER DOWN THE LINE is a contemporary art organisation and exhibition programme founded in May 2023 by Curator and Writer Adam Carr.  
​
Taking place in Aigburth Railway Station, Liverpool, UK, FURTHER DOWN THE LINE’s exhibitions are presented in a display case housed in the station’s waiting room, which features Merseyrail’s yellow signature colour. It
is open to the public 7 days a week during exhibitions.
​
The programme presents 6 solo exhibitions annually of international artists, travelling in, in its first year, from destinations as far as Afghanistan, Denmark, Canada and United States.

​

FURTHER DOWN THE LINE identifies with a lineage of unorthodox exhibition practices that have sought to place contemporary art in closer contact with a public, including Skulptur Projekte Münster, Münster, founded by Kasper König (1977-); ‘Places with a Past: New Site-specific Art in Charleston’, the Spoleto Festival, South Carolina, curated by Mary Jane Jacob (1991); and The Wrong Gallery, New York, by Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick (2002-2005) among many others. 

​

A non-profit space, FURTHER DOWN THE LINE is for artistic, curatorial, and educational innovation. It aims to contribute to critical discourses of contemporary visual art and encourages intercultural and cross-generational dialogues by generating space for presentation, reflection, discussion, and exchange.

​

A graphic identity, running over its website, signage, and related activity, uses the Rail Alphabet, a typeface designed by Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir in the 1960s for signage on the British Rail.

Further Down the Line conforms to Mersey Rail's safeguarding policy.
