It uses a range of techniques and approaches to explore filmic and literary adaptation, multiple narratives, censorship and the burning of books.

Old photos bought by weight of the pile in markets and on eBay, art sent to a debt collection agency as an offering for the debt, a film clip of a man acting out a sleep disorder, and a family member who swam across Morcambe bay in exchange for a wooden chest of drawers, are brought together in a show eating its tail, perpetually shifting between the personal and inauthentic, humour and something darker.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />"My Dad gave me my Mum's passport recently as a present. It was printed in 1982, contains 32 pages and has the number 312394 on the front. On the second page the description reads Occupation: Computer Clerk, Place of Birth: Manchester, Country of Residence: England, Height: 5ft 2, Colour of Eyes: Blue, Special Peculiarities: Birth Mark on Left Leg. As a sentimental gesture, I decided to have the description tattooed on my right leg. The tattooist wrote: Join us join us join us join us. Method Actors participate in a group relaxation exercise; propped on chairs, legs straight in front of them - they turn their heads and legs in a circular motion, letting out noises - sometimes short and loud and sometimes quiet and constant, occasionally crying. With the goal of accessing truth to authenticate their act, they unlock their 'instruments' (bodies), discard themselves as 'product' and connect with their 'personal objects' (memories). If an actor is distracted at any point, allowing his or her ego to get in the way of the exercise - the teacher shouts 'Live with me!'".</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyrgWsdv7gty1pz5D-oB16SF4uuNjgid48dEogNc5KQ3EYe4p_KK_AR0nESWCC_0bqarWZvxObJ8z0kIroDp3Cu_PFu0fY28221zYiFgXHzScImhi_Hdx7uKuUoGshU03LzkMMbxbAF50/s1600/rebecca+lennon.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Is it because I’ve just been looking at the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Patrick Coyle</span> piece, This Works – which is just graphite pencil on the wall which reads, <span style="font-style:italic;">“This Works is extremely fragile, Please do not touch.</span>” For some reason it put me in mind of my first piano teacher, which is enough to make anyone break out in a cold sweat, but no, that’s not why I’m sweating.<br /><br />Has everyone here seen <span style="font-style:italic;">Toy Story 3</span>? Remember this? That’s why I’m sweating. Just like Buzz and the gang I got the shock of my life a moment ago and I suppose to explain why we need to talk about this morning.<br /><br />I spend a lot of time in the public realm, this morning I was in <span style="font-weight:bold;">Raymond Pettibons</span> garage on Wood Street. I like it there, its home to My little red flip book and a video piece called<span style="font-style:italic;"> Sunday Night and Saturday Morning</span>. The video is from 2005 but the paintings were done specifically for the Biennial, apparently there is quite a good story behind them involving lots of red wine. Funny how all the best stories include red wine. I am clueless about art but I like the animation and some of it is really funny. If you can stand the cold it’s worth sitting through the whole hour. It’s quite cryptic but what art isn’t?<br /><br />I particularly like the reference to <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dennis “Beach Boys” Wilson</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">“Dennis you’re the only one who can surf, Dennis you’re the only one who can’t sing</span>.” This is particularly meaningful to the residents of my flat because “Dennis Wilson- Pacific ocean blue” is the equivalent to the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Marvin Gaye</span> LP my dad breaks out on special occasions, very special occasions. Yep, when <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dennis</span> is rocking, don’t come knocking. In fact, if <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dennis</span> is rocking, just stick <span style="font-style:italic;">Born to Run</span> on your head phones and reach for the whiskey.<br /><br />Anyway, this is meant to be about volunteer experiences not volunteer “experiences”. So as I was saying, I spend a lot of time in the public realm so when <span style="font-weight:bold;">Joёl </span>comes over the radio warning “all volunteers, there is a large group moving through the building so be prepared.” I get all smug, sip on my luke warm tea and proclaim to whoever I’m with (this morning it was <span style="font-weight:bold;">Craig</span>), <span style="font-style:italic;">“Mugs, listen to them making mountains out of molehills.”</span><br /><br />This brings us back to <span style="font-style:italic;">Afoundation</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">New Contemporaries</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Toy Story 3</span> and me, sweating. I experienced my first large group, they were foundation year art students and they tore through the building like a tornado, I was all <span style="font-style:italic;">“Don’t touch anything!</span>”, “Please don’t run!”, “No horse play!” I sounded like a teenage life guard trying to control Wavertree pool during the inflatable fun afternoon. I now have a sore throat. Luckily nothing has been damaged, which is good, because I’d quite like to come back.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8_tSBMA9N2FVnuFWysjwJPK6TZ1OcjNN4DEGB1THY-XQy1ySUK6MtzHqxGv8zjlUUmEAfBk7MUkI_rEdfYrOToI5lKsVYCPbrpPaU5DTCGBx71AS0dqBiuUEi7O9ZWX_YUSXaKO3rVk/s1600/Liverpool-Biennial-keyboard.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8_tSBMA9N2FVnuFWysjwJPK6TZ1OcjNN4DEGB1THY-XQy1ySUK6MtzHqxGv8zjlUUmEAfBk7MUkI_rEdfYrOToI5lKsVYCPbrpPaU5DTCGBx71AS0dqBiuUEi7O9ZWX_YUSXaKO3rVk/s320/Liverpool-Biennial-keyboard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543541495427662162" /></a><br /><br /><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br /><br />This is another guest blog is written by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Doug Herbert,</span> a Liverpool Biennial Volunteer Information Assistant as well as model for <span style="font-weight:bold;">Daniel Knorr’s</span> <span style="font-style:italic;">The Naked Corner</span>.These are his personal perspectives on his experiences invigilating the works in Bloomberg<span style="font-weight:bold;"> New Contemporaries</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Afoundation,</span> and the Wood Street garage. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhib5tuznqhmmco0aDWeJvtC0BVRlyUveSIv01ZqecGXSw6JvO_78K-KhZtY9xfpsrPyo_9duKmlQQdhWAac0jhe1bScqf0fVJ53yykHQtEqDsLydGCHUADQN8QKQdOpkGv9rYWTZw31Yc/s1600/new+contempories+2010.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhib5tuznqhmmco0aDWeJvtC0BVRlyUveSIv01ZqecGXSw6JvO_78K-KhZtY9xfpsrPyo_9duKmlQQdhWAac0jhe1bScqf0fVJ53yykHQtEqDsLydGCHUADQN8QKQdOpkGv9rYWTZw31Yc/s320/new+contempories+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550620498654862130" /></a><br /><br /><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br />The stuff here is good, I like the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Nathan Barlex</span> paintings for no other reason than I like the colours, (how valuable you must find my in-depth analysis of art) and I like Untitled by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Daniel Lichtman,</span> it reminds me of <span style="font-style:italic;">The Catcher in the Rye</span>. If you’ve read it you’ll know the books main protagonist, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Holden Caulfield</span> has a thing against phonies, well the two artists commissioned by the Biennial here are anything but phonies. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Antti Laitinen</span> built a boat out of old tree bark from his native Finland and sailed the thing across the Mersey, having just seen it I’ll tell you I wouldn’t even sit on it. His exhibition is great. There’s a video of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Antti </span>building an island out of sand bags, I don’t know why he did it but I’m glad he did.<br /><br />I also don’t know why <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sachiko Abe</span> has decided to dedicate 10 hours of her day everyday for two months to cutting paper into tiny strips, the accompanying sculpture is beautiful and Paper Clouds is amazing. I don’t know why she’s doing it, but again I’m glad she is. It’s my highlight of the biennial so far and I have no idea why.
