THE Turner Prize will be at the centre of October’s Late at Tate event this Thursday - with the competition debated all round the building including the toilets!
On the last Thursday of every month Tate Liverpool opens late for special events, music, food, drink and of course the best modern and contemporary art.
This Thursday’s (oct 26) event, from 6-9pm, invites visitors to voice their opinions on the recently opened 2007 Turner Prize exhibition.
There will be an opportunity to discuss this year’s artwork in different spaces throughout the building - by listening in on a conversation in the auditorium, taking part in a quiz in the café or even joining in a debate in the basement bathrooms.
The evening will culminate with a special performance by 2001 Turner Prize winner Martin Creed and his band.
Artists from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (Lipa) will liven up the dock with Along the Colonnades, a series of installations and performance works.
Neighbouring Site Gallery’s Fabric of Protest exhibition will also open late.
Miranda Sawyer, writer, broadcaster and jury member for Turner Prize 2007, will lead a discussion with 2004 prize-winner Jeremy Deller.
The talk starts at 6pm, and tickets cost £7.
To book call 0151-702 7400.
