Israeli artist Oded Hirsch works primarily in video and photography. This commission is the first time he has produced a public realm installation, continuing Liverpool Biennial's tradition of commissioning artwork in public spaces.
Linking the London 2012 Festival with the UK’s biennial of international contemporary art, Liverpool Biennial presents a sculptural intervention in the heart of Liverpool’s shopping district, Liverpool ONE. Hinting at a mysterious subterranean world emerging abruptly through the city's streets, this unexpected and unexplained sculptural presence disrupts the experience of shoppers and passersby alike. It will ask questions about how we negotiate concealed spaces.
This commission is part of Liverpool Biennial 2012 – the UK Biennial of international contemporary art. Liverpool Biennial unfolds through a series of exhibitions and projects that attracts over 600,000 visitors.
For the Olympic year, Liverpool Biennial will explore the theme of hospitality. Hospitality is the welcome we extend to strangers – an attitude and a code of conduct fundamental to civilisation, as well as a metaphor that suggests conditions and energies that inspire artists. Liverpool Biennial 2012 invites artists and thinkers to bring forth new understandings of hospitality for our increasingly globalised and complex times.
