Turner Prize winner Mark Leckey is to give the first of a new series of ‘Tate-Hope’ lectures in January.

Mark, who was born in Birkenhead and went to school in Ellesmere Port, will speak about the influence that growing up in Merseyside has had on his work. The talk will be held at Liverpool Hope’s Cornerstone campus in the city centre on January 14th. The day after the lecture, Mark will visit the university’s art department and talk to staff and students.

Christoph Grunenberg, Director of Tate Liverpool said: “We are delighted that Mark Leckey is re-launching this partnership that brings the best contemporary artists to Liverpool. “The influence Mark’s roots in Merseyside have had on his work is profound and this is an exciting opportunity to hear more about how the work of this significant contemporary artist has developed in the place where he is from.”

The event renews the successful partnership between Tate Liverpool and Liverpool Hope University building on joint aims to bring the best contemporary artists to Liverpool.

A Lining Of Bees: a dance/theatre performance created and directed by Angus Balbernie

In his latest dance-theatre piece based on the life and writing of Lowry, Angus Balbernie challenges boundaries between performer/audience and reality/fantasy. Devised and performed by Melina Seldes and Clive Andrews with soundscore by Elise Dabrowski and Jonathan Raisin, the performance is “brilliantly conceived and executed ...a dream to look at, stimulating throughout, and both perplexing and engaging in turns” (Venue Magazine).

It's been here before and it's back again now in it's seventh year LMW takes us to places that we have never been before.

Even though Liverpool already has some major international music festivals, there is always room in the annual musical calendar for such excellent party guest as this.

Following the runaway success of last year’s inaugural event, the Above The Beaten Track festival team have beavering away to make this year even more special, whilst maintaining their ethos of championing all things alternative, marginal and local; on all three floors of the gallery space. On the 22nd August the View Two Gallery on Mathew Street opens its doors for this return.
