Constellations to come to earth and light up Liverpool City Region

  • Constellations to come to earth and light up Liverpool City Region

AN arts project designed to inspire local communities to rediscover their local neighbourhoods and spend time stargazing is being launched across Liverpool City Region.

Constellations Presents brings a different artist to Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral to present a work inspired by a specific constellation and its relationship to local stories.

It is the follow-on from the award winning ‘Lost Castles’ which saw six extraordinary cardboard box structures being built and then demolished by communities in locations across the six boroughs in 2018.

The project was instigated by Wirral’s Borough of Culture year, which will launch the season with a spectacular installation by Studio Joanie Lemercier in West Kirby between the 18-20 October.

The final project – in Knowsley – will see local artist Sam Wiehl reimagining local residents and community groups as stars in a disused shop in Huyton village centre between 21-23 November.

The six commissions are:

Constellations Presents – Studio Joanie Lemercier

West Kirby Marine Lake, Wirral

18-20 October 2019

 Constellations Presents – Cetus

Mann Island, Liverpool

1-9 November 2019

Constellations Presents – The Creation

Sherdley Park, St Helens

5 November 2019

Constellations Presents – Parabolic Lightcloud

Crosby Coastal Park, Sefton

8-10 November 2019

Constellations Presents – Nova

Victoria Park, Widnes, Halton

15-17 November 2019

Constellations Presents – The Garish Sun

Huyton Village Centre, Knowsley

21-23 November 2019

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region, said: “Lost Castles perfectly showed how art and culture can celebrate local identity, whilst also bringing us together under one idea. I am excited about Constellations Presents as it does exactly the same thing. It will shine a spotlight on six very different parts of our region at the same time as showing how connected we are. I really hope people take this chance to go to as many of the installations as they can and to discover great new places on their doorstep.”
