FOUR WORDS: JANUARY

Artwork by Samela Otovic: Curated by Alan Dunn

FOUR WORDS curated by Alan Dunn, Liverpool Media Wall, 3.00-4.00pm on Wednesday 20th January 2016, supported by Arts Council England, Seedbed, Metal Liverpool and Ocean Outdoor.

Background

FOUR WORDS is one of the Liverpool Provocations, a series of four new public-realm artworks for Liverpool city centre taking place during the January sales season. The project has been developed by Metal Liverpool in conjunction with artist Alan Dunn. Other works will include an immersive performance by Julieann O'Malley, a street procession by MeYouandUs and a live music event by Forest Swords. It has often been quoted that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than an alternative to capitalism. These multi-disciplinary public-realm commissions will test four artists' ability to generate new and alternative visions.
