Introducing the Open Eye

July 22nd, 2010 by Tim Riley

It was a pleasure to present our scheme to the press and key members of the North West’s Art community culminating in a visit of the site located within the Mann Island Development. The gallery is to be a key part of the covered public realm – a new flexible public space on a grand scale where one can imagine all manner of exciting events taking place.

It has been great to see the development by Countryside Neptune taking form – An exemplary and sure to be award winning scheme befitting the most important site in Liverpool. This project along with the canal improvements and the museum of Liverpool have transformed the former docks and will help put Liverpool on a par with other European cities of major cultural significance such as Porto, Rotterdam and Bilbao. Can’t help but feel optimistic about the future of the city!
