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.

Zaha Hadid + Melissa
After Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Herchcovitch, it is the turn of the architect Zaha Hadid to design a pair of shoes for melissa, the Brazilian brand. "For thirty years now, I've been looking for different spheres of creativity in the design and architecture fields, and this project is a real challenge for me, not just because of the design but because of technical aspects.
There was a real synergy between us. I worked closely with melissa to transform my design into reality" said the architect. From this momentum a plastic footwear was born. "melissa + Zaha Hadid" will be produced in 8 colors (red, black, silver…). Fashionistas will only be able to buy this new "must-have" in September
melissa is known for its recyclable plastic shoes and will organise a launch event on September 18 during London fashion week. Zaha Hadid, famous for his avant-garde creations, recently collaborated with Chanel for a of contemporary art mobile museum, Chanel Mobile Art.
