Visible Virals - Transport, Parks & Green Spaces
Liverpool Biennial Public Realm Programme - London based artist Nils Norman is working with Liverpool's Park & Environment Division, Park Rangers and Merseytravel and is developing ideas to make Liverpool's parks visible and reveal their hidden gems, activities and communities. He is exploring opportunities on the transport system to make highly visible work and will recreate the parks by means of a new 'branding spin' bringing attention to their diversity and uniqueness. Visible Virals is a co-commission between Liverpool Biennial and Liverpool Culture Company for Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008.
