Event - Liverpool Biennial 'International: MADE UP' - Liverpool

Press is already out for Liverpool Biennial's fifth edition, ‘International 08: MADE UP’, which takes place in September this year. The event, unsurprisingly, is a punch of culture in all the right directions. With the Biennial touting itself as ‘the UK’s largest festival of contemporary visual art’, 'MADE UP' exhibitors rightly include a wealth of global names; Japan’s Atelier Bow Wow, Israel’s Omer Fast, France’s Annette Messager, Australia’s Tracey Moffatt (opposite), and Yoko Ono, to name but a few. These artists are as diverse in their backgrounds as they are in their work, which gives a good idea of how significant 'MADE UP' actually is. The show will take place throughout Liverpool’s many arts venues such as Tate Liverpool, the Bluecoat, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), and the Open Eye Gallery, alongside a whole host of further shows located in spaces across the city.

Liverpool Biennial, International 08: MADE UP, takes place from Festival Dates: 20th September - 30th November; European Biennial Network Meeting: 20th September; MADE UP Weekend - 23rd-25th October.
