LOOK/13, the second edition of Liverpool’s international photography biennial, will be held from 17 May to June 15 2013.
The event-packed opening weekend kicks off a four-week programme of exhibitions, talks and tours, workshops, competitions and screenings.
LOOK/13 presents work by emerging and established artists from Liverpool, the UK and beyond.
It combines historical exhibitions with contemporary solo and group shows. Every exhibition in the core programme has been produced specifically for the festival; the majority of work on display is new or is being show for the first time in the UK.
The theme of LOOK/13 is summed up in the question who do you think you are?. The festival’s programme looks at what happens when we turn the camera on ourselves and others to create images of identity, subjectivity and the self.
LOOK/13’s key sites include the Bluecoat (a visitor information hub for the festival), the Walker Art Gallery, Open Eye Gallery,Victoria Gallery & Museum and the Art & Design Academy.
All are in the city centre, within easy walking distance of each other. The festival’s Parallel Programme can be found in a host of established and informal spaces, with a small number of sites outside Liverpool city centre in Everton, Runcorn and Chester.
