The first object produced in any series is a book collating the entire set of proposals. The resultant exhibition includes the manifestation of some of the ideas as well as the framed proposals, both realized and unrealized. Liversidge usually creates the proposals within a self-imposed timeline that is related to a forthcoming exhibition or project many are site-specific. Created on an old manual typewriter, complete with typographical errors and hand annotations, the proposals describe ideas from the practical to the purely hypothetical, ranging from “I propose to paint the wall that the proposals are hung on a dark grey” to “I propose to dam the Thames and flood the City of London.” For Much of Peter Liversidge’s work the past decade, all of his work focuses on the conceptual practice of creating proposals for performances and artworks across a wide expanse of mediums. Peter Liversidge was born in the United Kingdom in 1973.
