Liverpool Biennial

Only a hop skip and a jump away Liverpool has it's Biennial on www.visitliverpool.com
until 28 November and I have to say its really nice to go and see some really great Art and some not so great Art The John Moores painting prize at the Walker Art Gallery is always a delight and to see Ian Davenports painting was really a highlight those strips just really get to you.At the Tate Liverpool is a fantastic exhibition curated by Wayne Hemingway on sculpture where to take your own headphones in and can even dance on one of the sculptures, lovely to see real scuplture.www.contemporartyurbancentre.org is a treat along with www.thecooperative.info and squatliverpool.com Social Questioning using Art today excellent as it offers the general public an opportunity to link in with the wider debate about what exactly modern Art is. Something that maybe is missing in Belfast ??? except for those who are already interested of course.

www.newcontemporaries.org.uk is a warehouse full of interesting Art pratice . But all in all what is so nice is the general public are included in the debate around the Art and seeing what exactly its all about...............changing minds and getting the questioning going.After all is that not what Art is about???? sometimes..........
