VIDEO artists from South East London, Close and Remote (Sophie Mellor and Simon Poulter), are on Merseyside filming:- "Lost Characters" which is an art project commissioned by Sefton MBC and supported by Arts Council - England, along with the Heritage Lottery Fund. "The project is aimed at exploring the fascinating photographic archive housed at Crosby Library. We are trying to find Lost Characters within the archive and bring them back to life. One of Frank Hampson's works was a set of Lost Characters. Another is the story of hermit Jack Johnson, plus Rev. Marcus Morris's who created The Eagle comic." said Sophie and Simon. Close and Remote have been working with a range of different community groups, to both investigate the current archive and produce new historical material. The groups they have worked with so far are Creative Alternatives, Sefton Carers, Southport College, Starbooks, Graphic Novel Reading Group, Age Concern and Positive Futures. More about the groups work on this project can be found via this link, also you can follow them on Facebook. So far the group have been spotted filming in:- Sandhills, Ainsdale Beach, Wayfarers Arcade, Southport, Marcus Morris's former parish in Birkdale, plus locations in Bootle.
