LIVERPOOL'S GAY FESTIVAL HAS VERVE AND VOGUE

Liverpool’s annual gay cultural festival will launch next week with its biggest and best ever programme.

Now in its 5th year, Homotopia is set to deliver over 50 events including several new commissions, a new strand of international art and a dedicated TV station.

The 2008 Homotopia festival launches this weekend with a celebration of gay culture involving performers, dancers, councillors, firefighters and police.

Gary Everett, Homotopia festival director, said: “We started out in 2004 with a handful of events and now we are at the heart of the city’s cultural calendar. This year we are expecting 15,000 people to enjoy over 50 events and we are already presenting the most popular art exhibitions of this year’s Biennial.

“We are delighted to have developed partnerships with Unison and Merseyside Fire and Rescue service but we think the support of Merseyside Police is particularly important this year following the recent tragic death of Michael Causer.”

Assistant Chief Constable Helen King explained why Merseyside Police supports Homotopia: “Homophobic crime is repugnant and can be devastating to victims. We are determined to tackle it both by encouraging people to report it to us so we can bring those responsible to justice, but also by supporting initiatives such as the anti-bullying play FIT to challenge homophobic attitudes within society.”

Highlights of this year’s Homotopia includes a star-studded list of queer icons:

¨ Tom of Finland – the biggest retrospective of his iconic gay male images ever exhibited in the UK (until Nov 30 - Contemporary Urban Centre)

¨ April Ashley – Liverpool’s prodigal son returns to discuss her life as a model and Britain’s most famous transsexual (Friday, Nov 14 - St Georges Hall)

¨ Maggi Hambling - distinguished sculptor and painter and creator of controversial memorials to Oscar Wilde and Benjamin Britten (Friday, Nov 14 – the

Bluecoat)
¨ Jake Arnott author of the recently televised The Long Firm (Wednesday, Nov 12 - the Bluecoat)
¨ Jackie Kay - has just published her poem to commemorate the abolition of the slave trade The Lamplighter (Wednesday, Nov 5 - the Bluecoat)

¨ Holly Woodlawn – a series of portraits of the Warhol superstar, by Sadie Lee (until Nov 30)
¨ The North West’s first ever Grand Vogue Ball, produced with London promoters Duckie and Liverpool dance company House of Suarez (Saturday, Nov 8 -

Adelphi Hotel)
¨ David Hoyle – the inimitable, indefinable, caustic witty phenomenon (Contemporary Urban Centre, Tuesday, Nov 4 and Friday, Nov 14)

The full festival programme can be seen at www.homotopia.net and events can be previewed at the festival’s very own online television channel www.homotopia.tv

THE WORLD IN ONE ROOM
Your last chance to see Ben Johnson’s Panorama Series

Sunday 2 November 2008 provides the last chance to see the hugely popular exhibition Ben Johnson’s Liverpool Cityscape and the World Panorama Series at the Walker Art Gallery. A crucial part of European Capital of Culture, the exhibition has already been seen by over 150,000 people since its opening in May.

The unique exhibition displays for the first time, the artist Ben Johnson’s Liverpool Cityscape along with his panoramas of Zürich, Jerusalem and Hong Kong and paintings representing Chicago and Paris. These are part of an ongoing project started in 1994 and which represent the equivalent of 44 years’ work.

By popular demand the The Liverpool Cityscape will return to display from 21 November at the Walker Art Gallery until it moves to the new Museum of Liverpool in 2010. To complement The Liverpool Cityscape there will be a display of art work from the gallery’s collection from the 20th Century. The display includes work that complements the styles and themes used by Johnson, including realist paintings by the artists Maurice Cockrill and John Baum and more abstract work by Tess Jaray and Michael Kidner.

At 8ft x 16ft the stunning Liverpool panorama covers nearly 170,000 hectares and boasts over a thousand buildings. Featured Liverpool landmarks include the Three Graces at the Pier Head, Liverpool's two cathedrals and the two football stadia to the north of the city.

MAKE YOUR VISITORS’ CHOICE
Publics last chance to choose their favourite JM25 painting

Sunday 2 November 2008 provides the last chance for visitors to choose their own winner of the John Moores 25 Contemporary Painting Prize.

All 40 of this year’s shortlisted works are currently on display at The Walker Art Gallery and visitors have been invited to make their own decision about which artist should win the JM25 Visitors’ Choice prize of £2008 in celebration of this years Capital of Culture.

To pick your winner fill in a postcard at the Walker Art Gallery explaining what your favourite painting is and why. This is the perfect opportunity to become a member of the jury. By submitting a card you are automatically entered into a free prize draw to win a meal for two at the award-winning Italian restaurant, Filini, based at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Liverpool.

Many have already been captivated by the paintings taking the opportunity to voice their opinions, but every vote counts in an exhibition full of strong contenders. Lisa Bradshaw, John Moores exhibition officer said “This is a great opportunity for people to have their say, and we’ve had a great response already. People seem to be really embracing the fact that whoever wins the prize is completely in their hands. It’s a close competition so every vote counts”

This year the jury picked Peter McDonald’s Fontana as the £25,000 first prize-winner, and Julian Brain’s Special Relativity, Geraint Evans’ An Ornamental Hermit, Grant Foster’s Hero Worship, and Neal Jones’ Bruegel Camp were each the further prizewinners of £2,500. The jury consisted of artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, art critic Sacha Craddock and painters Graham Crowley and Paul Morrison.

TERMINUS: George’s Dock Building, Pier Head : 28 October - 2 November 2008

Apart from those trees the Mersey Tunnel / George's Dock building makes an ideal screen. You can view this interesting film from Beetham Plaza above the Strand then before hypothermia sets in you can pop into Etsu restaurant for some lovely authentic Japanese grub.

The film is incredibly smooth considering it was shot from a sort of cherry-picker set to the height of the old railway, it really gives a good feel of what it would be like if the track was still there.
Its running from dawn till dusk until Sunday 2 November 2008.

In 1897 the pioneering Lumiere brothers famously filmed the world's first tracking shot to capture the magic of the world’s first electric overhead railway - the Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR).

Now 51 years after the LOR was demolished, the public are being invited to enjoy the ride one more time thanks to an equally technologically audacious new film.

Terminus is a newly commissioned cinematic reconstruction of the entire Liverpool dock complex as could be witnessed from a journey on what was affectionately known as 'The Dockers Umbrella' from 1893-1957.

Created by local artist Ben Parry the hour long film is made up of a single, real time tracking shot at an elevation of 8m (the height of LOR), taking the viewer along the length of the docks from Wapping Dock into Seaforth container port at the mouth of the River Mersey. The film is split into two journeys from South to North, day to night, back and forth with only a vague sense of beginning or end.

Referencing the birth of cinema and Lumiere’s film from the LOR in 1897, the work has been created using the latest in cinema technology employed in Hollywood action films with the support of the UK’s leading new media organisation FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology).

The film will be projected from dusk until dawn onto the east wall of George’s Dock Building at Pier Head between October 28 - November 2, with the support of Merseytravel. The spectacular projection will been seen by well over 500,000 people on foot and by car as they travel through the iconic waterfront landscape.

The commission has been part-funded by Liverpool Culture Company under the Cities on the Edge Programme, with Jump Ship Rat and the Arts Council England North West.
