Taking up residence at Albert Dock Liverpool on The Colonnades from 14th June to 15th July, Common Ground forms part of Art of Football, celebrating the global game with four weeks of exhibitions, events and creative happenings throughout the 2018 FIFA World Cup.Ĭhris Wright, portfolio manager at Aberdeen Standard Investments, who own and manage the majority of the commercial interests on the Dock, said: It is a common thread that can be an important ritual spanning across cultures, religion, gender and race.Īs part of the city’s Art of Footballprogramme, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, Common Ground is a new exhibition curated by Foto Octo that seeks to explore the ritualistic behaviour of football fan culture and its development from the game of the working class in the 1980s, to the riches of the Premier League today.Ĭombining the work of acclaimed photographers Tom Wood, Ken Grantand Tabitha Jussa across four different decades, the images will offer a unique insight into how the locale has evolved alongside the might of the now multi-million pound football industry and serve as a springboard to discussions about a wider fan culture that encompasses music, fashion and politics. Football is a global passion that connects people from all walks of life.
