Liverpool Biennial 2008 Presents the fifth edition of the UK's festival of contemporary art


Liverpool Biennial 2008 20 September - 30 November 2008

The Biennale will be showcasing the best contemporary artists from around the world.
In 2008 the festival is bigger and better than ever, celebrating 10 years of ambitious and challenging new work as well as Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture. Liverpool Biennial animates the whole city centre as a platform for the largest concentration of contemporary art anywhere in the UK.

The fifth edition of Liverpool Biennial's International Exhibition is MADE UP, an exploration of the ecology of the artistic imagination. MADE UP highlights art's capacity to transport us, to suspend disbelief and generate alternative realties. Consisting of around 40 projects by leading and emerging international artists – principally new commissions as well as several key works previously unseen in the UK – MADE UP will be presented across multiple venues: Tate Liverpool, the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technology) and Open Eye Gallery, with half the exhibition sited in public spaces across the city.
