International Festival: Start Me Up

The Fifth Floor: Ideas Taking Space, Liverpool, Dec 14th - Feb 1st 2009

International Festival's new piece opens on December 14th and runs until 1 February 2009 at TATE Liverpool. International Festival has been commissioned to design a social space for the show The Fifth Floor: Ideas Taking Space. A loose set of components and an abundance of more or less silly ideas facilitates the opportunity for a different experience of the museum. A modular and flexible film-set installation can be modified and reconfigured to host a myriad of performances and events. A series of activities – from gatherings of hobby groups to live performance by artists' collectives, from academic discussions to stand-up comedy – is being programmed by artists Jessie Blindell and Ailie Rutherford, Another Media and International Festival to run throughout the exhibition.
