 “ Furthermore... a book of proposalsѼ. Meandering faux rural rustiche underwhelms hard edged modernism.
Furthermore... is the latest installment in a story that has spanned half a decade. A story of a unique project following a community's move from three brutalist concrete towers to a cozy mock Victorian village. Over the last five years 25 artists have spent time living and working at Sheil Park in North Liverpool. For Furthermore these artists have been invited to propose a work for the newly finished estate which will be published as a book of proposals.”
Artists involved: Jordan Baseman, Vittorio Bergamaschi, Catherine Bertola, Marcus Coates, Bill Drummond, Leo Fitzmaurice, Anna Fox, Neville Gabie, Stefan Gec, Lothar Gotz, Grennan&Sperandio, Dirk Konigsfeld, Kelly Large, David Mabb, Gary Perkins, Philip Reilly, Paul Rooney, Becky Shaw, Julian Stallabrass, Chloe Steele, Greg Streak, Tom Woolford, Elizabeth Wright.

“The last residents will have moved into their new homes at Sheil Park. Desirable ’close“ properties sandwiched between the neglected areas Kensington and Anfield in the north of the city. Within secure perimeter fences, the estate could be seen as a village oasis or a kind of open prison complex. Characterised by the vacancy of a dormitory town but surrounded by the menace of an inner city. In terms of regeneration too the development could be seen a first flush of spring in an area of permanent winter. A new physical landscape, populated by an unchanging community. A new dawn that seems oddly incongruous to the elderly population.”
— ‘In ten years it will look like the estate the other side of the fence.’
