“From Point A to Point B” is an exhibition by Elizabeth Challinor that focuses on bringing the curatorial processes and methodologies to the forefront of the exhibition, to highlight how exhibitions get from Point A (initial conception) to Point B (final exhibition).

This exhibition serves as a culmination of a larger ongoing research project that featured a short series of smaller exhibitions. Each exhibition was developed collaboratively with 2 artists over a 5 week period, meeting weekly to develop ideas through discussing their individual practices, and concluded with a one-night exhibition. The aim of these exhibitions was to work collaboratively and communicatively, and explore how exhibitions can be generated through ongoing creative discussion and sharing ideas.

“From Point A to Point B” explores the development and curation of this series of exhibitions, featuring notes, transcripts, images, recordings and more from each exhibition, following the creative journey, process and evolution of each exhibition, and hopes to offer an in-depth look at how the artists worked together, how their work and ideas merged together, and how the exhibition unfolded as time went on.

The participating artists were Amy Cadwallader, Beth Wise, Ami Zanders, Olivia Vacanti, Mia Cathcart, and Sophie Baskerville.

More than just space, TRS is a community that makes a career as an artist in Liverpool a viable and accessible option through access to a support network and development opportunities through our local and national networks.

We aim to support outstanding emerging and mid-career artists by providing the highest quality, affordable studio spaces within a supportive community. Our programme includes public exhibitions, residencies, exchanges, critiques, research, events, training and community activities. We currently support over 40 artists through our studio membership and residency scheme. Our mission is to support artists to create sustainable and viable careers in the North West.

Founded in 2006 in a small pub in Dingle, The Royal Standard originally emerged from the need for a middle ground in Liverpool — somewhere in between smaller DIY grassroots arts incentives and larger institutions. In 2008, The Royal Standard undertook an ambitious relocation and expansion into a larger industrial space on the Northern periphery of the City Centre to a site on Vauxhall Road, relaunching to acclaim for the Liverpool Biennial 2008, which coincided with the city’s year as European Capital of Culture. Read more about our history.

Since then, we have thrived on account of the hard work of our team and local artists, and are now situated in our third, most ambitious location in the Baltic Triangle. Over the years, we have delivered a multitude of exhibitions and events spanning 322 days open to the public, working with 429 different artists and creatives, and welcoming over 10,000 audience members through our doors.
