There is an exhibition at Renew Rooms in Wood Street giving full details about this amazing installation.

'The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK', Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson’s very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields, and will be launched in June 2007 and will run through until end of 2008.

Co-commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company and Liverpool Biennial, co-funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency and The Northern Way, and facilitated by Liverpool Vision, the project is a stunning trailblazer for Liverpool’s Year as European Capital of Culture 2008, and the jewel in the crown of the Culture Company’s public art programme.

New Learning and Inclusion Staff

There are two new members of the Learning and Inclusion team at Liverpool Biennial, joining Judy Thomas as Programme Manager – Franny George has started as Partnership Co-ordinator (Learning and Inclusion), and Ros Hyde as Learning and Inclusion Programme Assistant. Franny will be focusing on developing and maintaining relations between Liverpool Biennial and Merseyside community groups and individuals. Ros will be working across the Learning and Inclusion Department and building on the successful Visitor Programme.

Both Ros and Franny are practising artists in Liverpool, and have worked for Liverpool Biennial before. Ros co-ordinated the visitor programme for the 2006 festival – managing fusebox and the talks and tours programme. Franny worked as a freelance project manager on the schools’ project in 2006, as well as working on projects in 2002.

Ros and Franny join the Biennial at an exciting and challenging time. Celebrated as the deliverer of Liverpool’s International Festival of Contemporary Art, the organisation now operates as a visual arts agency delivering a range of projects year round.

Liverpool Biennial has achieved extraordinary growth in the last six years, not least through its Learning and Inclusion Programme’s committed delivery of educational objectives through a year round programme of activities and the festival programme: working with communities, formal education networks and visitors.
