Liverpool Biennial 2010
Some of the Public Realm artworks are already available for you to enjoy. Laura Belem's The Temple of a Thousand Bells is open Thursday - Sunday 10-6pm in the Oratory. From there, a two minute walk down Duke Street will lead you to the Scandinavian Hotel, on which flap the 36 burning flags that make up Will Kwan's Flame Test. Around the corner of the white facade of the hotel is the Europleasure Building. If you notice, the missing glass panes spell three words : TOUCH AND GO, which is part of Cristina Lucas's video by the same name.
There is much more to come including the largest ever International Exhibition - this is just a taster!

Innovasion - The Pervasive Live Action Game
Liverpool Biennial has co-produced a Live Action Game with Hope Street Ltd. Something is wrong at the Liverpool Biennial. Suspicious signs and mysterious codes appear from nowhere, and a sinister conspiracy is lurking in the shadows. Your creativity is under threat. But the good thing is: You can be part of it! Immerse yourself in a new world, find the trail, unravel the mystery, break the codes and help save the world. This is only the beginning.
Join our pervasive alternate reality game - book here and check the website for further details. For any questions, please email mary@biennial.com
