The independent strand of Liverpool Biennial launched as Tracey in 1999. Featuring artists not engaged in the main programme, it played a vital role in revealing the city through exhibitions, interventions and performances across multiple spaces and sites, reflecting the energy of the local scene.
As the Independents Biennial invited international artists to show alongside those from the city region, this archival display was a reminder of its origins. Included were documentation, publicity material and other ephemera drawn from the Bluecoat and other archives, as well as some original artworks from the early years.
