A series of new art installations depicting burglary masks could be installed behind St George’s Hall as part of a major cultural festival.
A planning application has been lodged with Liverpool Council for the siting of seven cast-bronze hand woven baskets in St John’s Gardens for a period of three months during Liverpool Biennial. The sculptures, designed by American artist Nicholas Galanin, would be sat upon concrete plinths and resemble burglary masks, known as Threat Return, as per a heritage statement submitted alongside the plans.
Liverpool Biennial is the largest festival of contemporary visual art in the UK and will host its 12th event from June to September. It will be curated by Khanyisile Mbongwa.
