Ливерпульская Биеннале 2016: фестиваль современного искусства 9 Июля – 16 Октября 2016 года.
Over 14 weeks this summer, Liverpool Biennial 2016 – the largest festival of visual contemporary art in the UK – takes over the city’s outdoor and indoor spaces.
Free exhibitions, performances and commissions by leading international artists will be presented throughout the city. Among the locations for Liverpool Biennial 2016 are the historic Cains Brewery on Stanhope Street; the Grade II listed former ABC Cinema; the Oratory in the grounds of Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral; streets, pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets; as well as the city’s largest galleries and museums, including Tate Liverpool, FACT, Open Eye Gallery and Bluecoat.
Liverpool Biennial 2016 will unfold across the city as a story told in several episodes: fictional worlds, which draw inspiration from Liverpool’s past, present and future. Highlights include: Japanese artist Koki Tanaka’s restaging of the 1985 School Students’ Strike in which 10,000 children took part; a new film by Merseyside-born artist Mark Leckey, inspired by events in his life from the 1970s to 1990s; Marvin Gaye Chetwynd’s new production entirely cast, produced and directed with young people from Liverpool; a large-scale bronze fountain by American artist Betty Woodman; and three double-deckers from Liverpool’s fleet of Arriva buses transformed by artists.
Also showing during Liverpool Biennial 2016 are the John Moores Painting Prize, Bloomberg New Contemporaries, and the Biennial Fringe.
