News just in that one of the Urban Angels released during the Biennial has been discovered in a field in central France. Excellent. That angel has mighty wings. --------

frieze magazine review of Liverpool Biennial
I don't agree with a lot of his views, he completely dismisses the Independents (too lazy to actually look at them?) but he makes some good points. --------

frieze The Biennial continues to be mentioned in the art media around the world which is good, although often its just to have a dig at Yoko Ono. In the last paragraph of this article, Frieze associate editor Dan Fox, states that many of the works on display were commissioned with the brief that they must be ‘about’ Liverpool. This is not strictly true. In fact, curators from around the world were invited to research Liverpool as the context for an exhibition, and then recommend the practice of artists that would have some 'resonance' with this context. Not quite the same thing is it. --------

...but not here (much). If you are interested in whats happening in the Liverpool Art world then you need to follow my new Art In Liverpool Weblog.
This blog will be staying though. It seems to be the only online resource of what actually happened during the Biennial. --------

It would be nice to say I saw the whole of the Biennial but here's some of the things I missed..

Loads of artists' talks and the Fusebox tours.
Loads of live performances at the Bluecoat.
Whatever was happening at the Palm House, at Holly Lodge School, at Wavertree, Kirkby, Sheil Park and
Menlove Ave. (suppose I'm too lazy to travel outside the city centre!)
The Commons
Delving & Driving bus tour
My Yugo - taxi
Most of The Art Organisations events in the first 2 weeks at St Brides and Roscoe St.

Of course, it was physically impossible to attend all the live events as a lot clashed with other once-only shows.
It was mostly talks and performances that I missed, I think I did manage to see every painting, photograph and sculpture shown in the city centre. So I'm proud of that.
