Liverpool 08 : Google maps let’s us Hit Search for the SuperLambBanana
By Andrew Redfern @ 28th February 2008 4:41 pm
Capital of Culture is upon us here in Liverpool and amongst the various things that are happening is a massive public art exhibition featuring 100 of the city’s much loved (and much derided) SuperLambBananas.
For the un-initiated the SuperLambBanana is a large sculpture by Japanese artist Taro Chiezo that has lived in the city for the past 10 years. This Merseyside wide public art invasion will be staged throughout the 08 Capital of Culture year.
Visitors and Residents (Hit Search employees included) are encouraged search for the sculptures and report their sitings. The local newspaper, The Liverpool Echo, is recording the locations on a google map so that more people can get out and see them.
Exhibitions like this provide a great backdrop for the cities year in the spotlight. Other similar highlights on Liverpool’s streets & public spaces include Banksy’s giant rat mural up on Berry Street (just next to the city’s chinatown archway), the excellent Turning the Place Over near Old Hall Street CBD, The Mersey Wave in the south of the city and the much treasured “Another Place” Gormleys statues on Crosby Beach in the north.
