This week’s Culture Radar guest is Director, Art in Liverpool CIC, Patrick Kirk-Smith.
Loved: Material Matters have the perfect blend of gettable and critical thinking. Into The Wyld, which re-draws the tale of Sir Gawain for modern day Wirral, is their latest unmissable exhibition at the Williamson.
Looking forward to: There’s a lot to look forward to over the next few months. FACT’s Art Play Games looks exciting; Open Eye’s The Flowers Still Grow looks joyful; and there’s a rare chance for the public to see inside The Athenaeum with their collaborative show with Smithdown Social… and it’s a way off, and I’m biased, but keep your eyes peeled for Independents Biennial next summer.
Trivia: Art in Liverpool turns twenty this month. Twenty! It started out as a Liverpool Biennial fan-blog, and has documented most visual art events in Liverpool ever since. You can grab a commemorative 20th birthday issue of our newspaper around LCR this month.
