Directed in 1919 by Robert Wiene, the film is well know for the brilliance of its set design and set designer Hermann Warm enlisted Walter Reimann and Walter Roehrig, fellow members of Berlin's Der Sturm group, to act as art directors.
Audiences will be invited to navigate on, in and around the
installation and will be given the option to take a guided tour, where
Gallery Assistants will lead groups of up to ten visitors through
different journeys, imparting snipets of narrative, based on the

Grizedale Arts
Virtual Grizedale
In response to Greenland Street's invitation to 'take up residence' in Liverpool, Grizedale Arts are planning to realise Virtual Grizedale which will offer the equivalent of a 'live' website drawing together a body of activity from three sites, Japan, Egremont and Liverpool itself. The main focus of the 'residency' will be to create a multimedia extravaganza, occupying parts of The Blade Factory and the surrounding streets with performances, musical events, projections, sound installations and radio broadcasts. Participating artists will include Lucienne Cole, Bedwyr Williams, Jesse Rae, Brian Dewan, Jen Lou, Olaf Breuning, Juneau Projects, Bryan Davies and Dan Robinson and others.
Grizedale Programme is available as a downloadable PDF.

Closing Party Sat Nov 25 18.30 with Live music
The culmination of a project giving artists based in and around Liverpool and Manchester the opportunity to meet and work together for one week. All applicants were guaranteed entry into the project and the 23 participants have worked together in an effort to create an exhibition which makes the best use of a 19th Century building which, though very dilapidated, contains multiple layers of history.
The building at 11 Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool has been the venue for 2 other exhibitions over the course of the Biennial. This event has allowed participants the opportunity to spend a greater period of time working in the building thereby giving them the opportunity to respond more directly to it. |

'Return of the Silent Traveller' by Weng Fen. Solo Show.
Weng Fen (aka. Weng Peijun) is rapidly establishing an international reputation through the quality and
variety of his work, which ranges from massive installations constructed from thousands of eggs to stunning
photographs of viewers transfixed by the spectacle of metropolitan or the natural sublime. In these varied
ways Weng’s work reflects the rapidly changing nature of Chinese society and the country’s
changing perception of itself. |

'Static' by Steven Gent
This is a showing of new works from Gent’s on-going experiments using Current Displacement (static electricity) to create a unique form of auto-organic artwork.
These works are paradox; the artist is still whilst the medium draws itself to the finest uncontrollable detail.
Each piece then is born from a synergy of compulsion and movement as the electricity actually attracts the medium (bitumen) to its surface.
These are the lines of nature, unique without design.
Open; 16th-26th November 2006 12-18.00 |

| Anglican Cathedral & Albert Dock - Cape Farewell - Art & Climate Change
The War Memorial Chapel within the cavernous interior of Liverpool Cathedral, enhances the ephemeral, fragile grace of choreographer Siobhan Davies’ Endangered Species. A projection of dancer Sarah Warsop, in an unusual costume of rods created by fashion designer Jonathan Saunders, moves gracefully inside a museum display case, at first liberated but then finally extinguished by her increasingly cumbersome attire.
At Albert Dock in Mermaid Court, between the Merseyside Maritime Museum and Tate Liverpool stands an outdoor modular exhibition telling the story of Cape Farewell through images and text and carrying current climate information. The exhibition is accompanied by a solar-powered soundscape created by Max Eastley. |
