The Cooperative Project
Just a note to mark the close of the Cooperative Project (http://blogs.biennial.com/2010/09/16/liverpool-biennial-2010-preview-the-cooperative/).
Running alongside this year's biennial the coop served as a means of forging links between some of the city's indie galleries and studios (Red Wire and The Royal Standard amongst them), and promoting them in a more meaningful manner.
With slide shows from some of those involved and a rollicking performance from Hot Club de Paris, the project certainly went out with a bang.
An experiment worth doing again theviewfromahill thinks.

What it is
Welcome to my new blog. The aim is to provide cultural comment and criticism sifting through the good and bad so you don't have to!
Come back and visit for regular (I'm aiming for weekly, but I'm making no promises) updates on what's going on locally and nationally in gigs, cinema, exhibitions, etc; a pop culture diary and guide if you will.
For dedicated goings on in Liverpool, check out the superb Sevenstreets.com: http://www.sevenstreets.com/
