Thanks Luke so much for the virtual tour of the Liverpool Biennial as I haven't managed to get there myself it was good to get a flavour of the work. I particularly enjoyed the drawing room and the work by Charles Avery, Avish Khebrehzadeh and Rachel Goodyear. I have read about Richard Wilson's Turning the Place Over and it was amazing to see it moving - even watching the other clip from the inside it is still unbelieveable - how did it work for real? Ai Weiwei looked spectacular and when I realised the size of the piece at the end it was amazing. My two favourites from the tour were at the new contemporaries. First, Joe Daldon's intricate lace like floor made of cardboard and second, Paul Westcomb's coffee cups - which were old coffee cups beautifully and intricately painted with watercolour ink.
My overall impression of the biennial was that it seemed to have involved the city. I constantly heard voices in the background and often children and they always had Liverpudlian accents.

A differing take on e-crit, With regard to the work as I have not seen the Liverpool Biannual, I was able to remember the work that was shown or the range of work that was show from exhibitions I have seen previously, I was keen as always on Rodney Grahams work, but i felt limited by the inexperiense, but a set of works that i would of not seen otherwise. I perticually like the Richard Willson work. I feel that the work that was explained, that was veiwed and explained by the artist spoke to me more, this was mostaly on the FACT.TV website. I find the intrest in the interaction and the descussion between the work and the arctual work of art. I will have to get over to see it all in reality as soon as I can, Thank you Luke
