 d was the home of the first girls’ school in the country. Currently an e
 ducational centre for women and home to a number of social enterprises\, i
 t houses new commissions by Taus Makhacheva and Rehana Zaman.\n\nTaus Makh
 acheva has created a ruin-like sculptural installation that serves as a s
 pa\, in collaboration with artist Alexander Kutovoi. The installation inco
 rporates ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) techniques and video.
  A new range of beauty products has been developed with Tigran Geletsyan f
 rom 22|11 Cosmetics for spa treatments. Throughout the Biennial\, visitors
  are invited to book a facial treatment\, which will be conducted by a per
 former and take approximately 30 minutes. In this passive state\, the visi
 tor becomes a sculptural subject. During the treatment\, stories about art
 works that have disappeared throughout the history of art will be told. Th

 embranes\, anxiety and lossof intimacy.\n\nRehana Zaman’s new film has 
 been developed over the course of six months with a group of young women f
 rom Liverpool at Blackburne House\; it is also the starting point for a ne

 cist and women-led grassroots film organisations. The group has documented
  the development of the co-operative as the project has unfolded\, address
 ing their experiences as young women of Somali and Pakistani background an
 d the complexities of working collaboratively. It interweaves fictional an
 d non-fictional accounts of past\, present and invented occurrences to exa
 mine how spaces and positions of authority are gendered and racialised.\n\
