BLUE PRINT of the SENSES
Models and Instruction in an age of Uncertainty
museumMAN Liverpool Biennial 2006 call for submissions and contribution

Twinned together,the theme park and museum are intrinsic models borne out of polar, yet intertwined concepts of the hetrotopia. The ethereal and peripharal site of the circus,the sites of exotic exageration,mocked and painted wonder,collapsable consetenaed candy shacks was the illusionist canvas of the alien and its physical extremities.The inception of theidiosyncatic "permanent recipricol" of the Curiosity Shop was ,so it would seem, its bone collector. museumMANliverpool invite artists to submit work for the museumMAN's participation in The Liverpool Biennial 2006 with either a postal response or proposasition. The first incarnation at The Berliner Kunst Salon October 2005 saw over 100 artists response to the Blueprint in its first inception to much critical acclaim-dealing with the theme of the circus and the urban periphary.

Artists architects curators historians collectors of memorabilia and collections of a particular study or interest are invited to partake in this uniquely "lived in museum" that challenges the borders between acceptable notion of art+the sciences to create a valid dialogue of the disparate and yet ultimately a telling sign of the formulation of the modern museum. In the mid 19th Century the acceleration of exact science and the arts was to dust away eccentric aesthetes and devotees of unique forms and sciences,to establish the beginnings of the catalogue,and to develop guidance through history in an order that made human,animal,botanical,geological,spacial evolution,once an ill considered far away labyrinth the deliberate tools of selective representation in order to guide and instruct firstly the acamedician,and from the early success of World Fairs and Expositions,that of the public too.

By the beginnings of the 20th Century,both instiitutes had laid foundations.Architecture of folly and attainment,sympathy,harmonies,wonder and awe,though initially divisive in their aims,have by their very nature become brothers to serve the crowds.Architectual butrusses of ascent and descent in age of uncertainty. Blue Prints of the Senses will aim toward representing both artists and architects and art practitioners visions wether utopic or apocalyptic.An organic assemblage,The aim being the exhibition itself forms its own dynamic dialogue through stark,witty,fetishistic,planned and chaotic structure.Where Susan Hiller's Punch and Judy video insatallation awaits for the ergonimic immersion into space.in and out of memory,to the glass entombent of
extinct wildlife,leant from The Manchester Natural History Museum,fortune tellers behind marquettes of
Frank Gehry's Bilboa and The Judisches Museum blueprints of Lieberskind hanging akin to a tatooists
map.An intimate installation of a revolving schema of artists exhibitions including David Medalla''s Stitch
in Time and international artists whos legacies are undisputabed in an interactive weave of the particapory,the ephemeral,transportable,and through interaction,a free form catalogue of a definitive time.

Artists are free to post works and submissions to Adam Nankervis museumMAN Top Floor 48 Rodney Street Liverpool L1 1AA England Uk

A comprehensive catalogue will be printed during The Liverpool Biennial 2006
