FACT: Liverpool Biennial International 08

20 September – 30 November 2008

FACT presents new commissions from artists U-Ram Choe (Korea) and Ulf Langheinrich (Germany) as part of the fifth Liverpool Biennial. At FACT, artists focus on the power of the mind to make up meaning when faced with complete abstraction and extreme sensory deprivation.

In Gallery 2, artists Stella Brennan (New Zealand), Terrence Handscomb (New Zealand) exhibit alongside Michael Bell Smith (USA) while Lisa Reihana (New Zealand) brings her unique kitsch sound-work to the public spaces at FACT.

The Media Lounge becomes an interactive exploratory space where you can create a creature and learn more about the artists featuring in the exhibition at FACT.

Gallery 1 & 2, Atrium, Public Spaces and Media Lounge at FACT
