Liverpool Biennial 2010




Do Ho Suh, Bridging Home 2010

Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool
18 September - 28 November 2010





This installation is quite difficult to locate, especially if you begin your journey, as we did, walking the length of Duke street on the same side of the road as the artwork is installed! Retracing our steps back up the street we took careful note of the numbering of the miscellaneous properties and eventually returned to number 84-86. This was when we realised why we had overlooked Do Ho Suh’s work first time round. Walking along Duke Street on the side of the installation, it’s easy to pass by. Above eye level, and belonging to a mixture of newly regenerated and authentically dilapidated buildings, Do Ho Suh’s artwork can be hidden at close range. But when you see it you really see it!

The temple of 1,000 bells.









The Brazilian artist Laura Belem walks a tight rope between the idealistic and the cliche. Her installations embrace world-weary concepts yet keep the viewer enchanted.
