The 13th Liverpool Biennial, titled 'Bedrock,' runs from June to September 2025, featuring 30 international artists across 18 diverse venues. Curator Marie-Anne McQuay highlights the duality of Liverpool's geological foundation—sandstone—as a metaphor for its rich history and architecture. The event includes 22 new commissions integrating art within both conventional and unconventional spaces, fostering community engagement and reflecting local culture. McQuay stresses the importance of understanding Liverpool's layered histories and how they shape the context of the Biennial, making it an essential aspect of the city’s civic life.
"The city is founded on bedrock," curator Marie-Anne McQuay explains, highlighting Liverpool's sandstone geology, which influences its architecture and historical significance.
McQuay notes the importance of the Biennial's context, stating, "I wanted to think about what is truly particular to Liverpool, beyond the river [Mersey]."
