Invernomuto e Jim C. Nedd @ Liverpool Biennial

20 March – 27 June 2021   
Venue: Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building   
Grito – Las Brisas de Febrero   

ICI London is pleased to support once again the work of artists Artists Invernomuto (duo Simone Bertuzzi and Simone Trabucchi) & Jim C. Nedd: an immersive audio-visual installation Grito – Las Brisas de Febrero (2021) at Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building, part of the 11th Edition of the Liverpool Biennal: The Stomach and the Port, curated by Manuela Moscoso. The work explores Colombian pico culture – where customised sound systems or ‘picos’ go head to head playing vintage Afro-Colombian records, animating the street parties of the country’s Atlantic Coast. The work ties together multiple threads – highlighting sound as a form of knowledge and tracing the history of picos to the role which Colombian coastal cities played as points of contact between West Africa and South America during the transatlantic slave trade, while drawing parallels with Liverpool’s historic connection with this period. Retelling the history of Afro-Colombian music and culture from this perspective, the sound element recites stories connected to both Palenque and Barranquilla. Also concerned with how our bodies register experience, the editing pattern of the film reflects patterns of hair braiding which were developed by slaves to transmit messages as tools of resistance.

Those who are not able to visit the exhibition in person can view the curatorial video Cotton Exchange, where Invernomuto and Jim C. Nedd are being exhibited, here along with the VR capture here.

Taking over unexpected and public spaces, historic sites and art galleries, the Liverpool Biennial has been transforming the city through art for over two decades. The 11th edition, The Stomach and the Port, explores notions of the body and ways of connecting with the world. 50 international artists and two collectives are taking part in this year’s Biennial. A dynamic programme of free exhibitions, performances, screenings and fringe events unfolds over the 12 weeks, shining a light on the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
