The Agency is a paradigm of the cultural economy, an articulation of the values of an artist-run space through the commodification of one within another. Searching for a sense of value, Dundee-based GENERATORprojects was packaged and sold to a consuming public, lead by Head of Sales and invited artist Catrin Jeansm as part of the Royal Standard's Liverpool Biennial residency 'Service Provider'. From shop fit to live office environment, The Agency functioned as a platform from which the role of the artist-run space was dissected within the context of the Biennial. Bureaucracy was established and training days held. The two-week residency ended with a Crawl Inclusive tour.

AN INFORMED ENERGY
Adrian Murray, Anna Wowk and Amy Carter
The exhibition features surprising, strange and sometimes unimaginable objects, sculptures and installations that deal with the production, consumption and the very nature of energy. Some are poetic, others are alienating or at times even redundant. But in this, they are all relevant. They demonstrate the extent to which energy is part of the chain of all processes. Energy can be harvested in a variety of ways, but never without consequences, making them difficult to evaluate and interesting to explore.
An Informed Energy attempts to bring an established reality of what we think we know into contact with our imagination, with often challenging results.
