Business - The Liverpool map:Call for expressions of
interest
Artists working in any medium are invited to submit an
expression of interest to create a new Liverpool Map.
The people of Merseyside and those with Liverpool connections worldwide
are deciding where they think the boundaries of Liverpool really lie,
geographically, historically and culturally. The results gathered will
contribute towards the source material for the Liverpool Map artwork.
The map could embrace local, national and international areas,
highlighting Liverpool’s global influences.
The new map will be displayed in the Museum of Liverpool when it opens
in 2010. It will have a prominent position on a free standing wall
(height 3.5m, width 3m, with a depth of up to 1m floor space available
in front of the wall).
The Liverpool Map is currently being formed by the votes and
contributions of Liverpool Daily Post readers and the project is part of
Open Culture. The commissioned artist/s will interpret the outcomes of
the Liverpool Daily Post open vote, creating a legacy for the museum
that has truly been directed by the people of Liverpool.
The artists fee for the creation of the new Liverpool map is £20,000.
This does not include materials and installation costs.
