BUSY days at Liverpool's now much lauded Fact Centre where a new exhibition this week promises to be both uncomfortable for the audiences yet strangely compelling.
It comprises work by four conceptual artists - Chen Chieh- jen, Sigalit Landau, Marzia Migloria and Elisa Sighicelli - who have been inspired by artefacts.
Their creations - entitled The Agony & The Ecstasy - use moving images to explore history, religion, pain, death, pleasure and power; a potent mix in anyone's language or culture.
Also unveiled is an unusual interactive event called The Secret Lives of Liverpool, which is an Internet radio station manned and driven by the people of the city. It brings together music, poetry and - according to Fact's director of communications Anna Izza - the sound art of artists, whatever that might be, who are either renowned or hitherto unknown.
Budding disc jockeys or wannabe Roger Phillip clones should go to Wood Street and don headphones to be heard around the globe. If that isn't enough tomorrow sees Liverpool film-makers given the chance to show their work on the big screen.
Billed as the Liverpool Film Night, this month's screenings feature priests and insurance salesmen gone bad, documentaries and aspiring dance stars from Kirkby, as well as Zombie movies.
