Liverpool Biennial 2004

18.09.2004 - 28.11.2004

Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, Liverpool / United Kingdom

The International - is an acclaimed exhibition showing significant new works by international artists commissioned especially for the city. This strand is the critical focus of the Biennial and again in 2004 the curatorial process presents a unique model, involving collaboration between many individuals and organisations.
The process began earlier this year opening a dialogue between international researchers and artists, with local arts organisations, community groups, local artists and artist led groups....
Four international researchers were invited to Liverpool to examine the city as a context for the exhibition: Sabine Breitwieser (Vienna), Yu Yeon Kim (New York), Cuauhtemoc Medina (Mexico City) and Apinan Poshyananda (Bangkok). They each recommended artists they felt would have some affinity for the culture of Liverpool and those artists were invited to Liverpool by the Biennial, to research and experience the city. Up to 48 will be selected for the show with 70- 80% commissioned to produce new work. (press information Liverpool Biennial)
