Peter Liversidge

Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh

Peter Liversidge (born Lincoln, 1973) hand typed and sent 160 proposals to Ingleby Gallery for his show THE THRILL OF IT ALL; these have been collated as an artist's book Ingleby Proposals. A significant number of these proposals have been realised as artworks whilst others will take the form of performances or happenings over the course of the exhibition.

Liversidge makes work in almost every conceivable medium; painting & drawing, photography, performance and sculpture all have a part to play. Each of Liversidge's exhibitions or projects begin with a reassuringly dependable starting point: the artist sitting alone at his kitchen table with an old manual typewriter writing the Proposals from which the show follows.

Over the past few years Liversidge has worked in this way with an increasingly diverse body of people and places including: Proposals for Liverpool (Tate Gallery, 2008), Proposals for Barcelona (Centre d’art Santa Monica, 2007), Proposals for Brussels (the British Council for the Europalia Europa Festival, 2007), Proposals for Miami (Art Basel Miami Beach, 2009) and Jupiter Proposals (the newly opened sculpture park Jupiter Artland, 2009).
