Is the John Moores exhibition of contemporary painting part of the Biennial?
John Moores 24 coincides with and forms a major strand of the Liverpool Biennial. Liverpool Biennial is the UK’s largest contemporary visual art festival. There are four exhibition strands to the festival: International 06, John Moores 24, the Independents and New Contemporaries (see www.biennial.com for further information). The fourth biennial launches on 16 September 2006 and runs until 26 November 2006. The festival is a collaborative event delivered every two years in association with the region’s long-established visual arts organisations. These include Tate Liverpool, the Walker Art Gallery, Bluecoat Arts Centre, Open Eye Gallery and FACT, Foundation for Art & Creative Technology, as well as a number of smaller galleries and independent venues.
