A guided tour of the exhibition led by the curatorial team.
Not All Documents Are Records represents Open Eye Gallery’s contribution to the Liverpool Biennial
2014. The exhibition, curated by Lorenzo Fusi, looks at three key international
visual art platforms through the lens of photography, moving between the past
and future. The main theoretical question underpinning the project is: “Can
photography retain its artistic autonomy and overcome pure documentation,
whilst also narrating the history of an important art exhibition?”
Through new commissions and the display of historical work, this
exhibition looks at three internationally renowned European art platforms: the
Liverpool Biennial itself, documenta
in Kassel (Germany) and the Venice Biennale.
Tour lasts approximately 40 minutes.
