Artist Joshua Sofaer performs a tour of Liverpool Biennial: International 06 at Tate Liverpool in entirely fake national languages of the artists themselves. This performance tour plays out the stereotypes we ascribe to language and shows that meaning exists beyond the dictionary definition.

Tours last 20 minutes. Part of Liverpool Live 06, a festival of live art produced by Bluecoat Arts Centre. Look out too for Joshua Sofaer’s World in One City, an audio tour around the city centre. Contact the Bluecoat Reception on 0151 709 5297 for more information.
