For 10 weeks every two years Liverpool is transformed Euro into an amazing gallery of new art, showcasing the best of contemporary artist from around the world. In 2008 the festival is bigger and better than ever celebrating 10 years of ambitious and challenging work as well as Liverpool’s status as European Capital of Culture.

The International exhibition for the fifth Liverpool Biennial is MADE UP, an exploration of the ecology of the artistic imagination. MADE UP highlights art’s capacity to transport us, to suspend belief and generate alternative realities. Consisting of over 40 projects by leading and emerging international artists, MADE UP will be presented in multiple sites across the city centre.

This year promises to be the best yet, bolstered by the cachet of Capital of Culture it is well worth the visit to this fluctuating, tempestuous city. Showcasing new commissions, as well as several key works previously unseen in the U.K., MADE up will be presented across multiple sites across the city, guide maps are available, and the exhibitions are clearly marked with big red placards, with even bigger numbers…aha…easy for even the most hideously rubbish map reader…(not gender specific)
