CURATED DIARY
The thematic approach owes much to Jonathan Watkins' 1996 Sydney Biennale and the Guangahou Triennial 2012. ntmofa.gov.tw/engiish 3 BIENNALE DE LYON LYONS Until 5 January This is one of the major exhibitions of the European contemporary art calendar and (in much the same way as Liverpool Biennial) it's always worth a visit: it hits a spot that is less art-world cool (more substantial) than Berlin and less commercial than Venice.

The Guide: The beat goes on: My Liverpool: Four of the city's notable residents tell us why they love the city: Lewis Biggs: Director, Liverpool Biennial
I always tell any tourist to walk everywhere in Liverpool. I take my visitors on architectural tours round the commercial district, to the India Buildings for instance. It's amazing, like being in New York. I also take them to Port Sunlight, which is model village with the Lady Lever Gallery at its centre, and of course the two cathedrals. It must be the only city in the UK to have a Catholic and an Anglican cathedral at each end of the one street. The contrast tells you a lot about Liverpool's sectarian history, and they're both fabulous architecturally. The view from the top of the Anglican cathedral tower is so memorable, you can see as far as Anglesey, below you the city all laid out, the Mersey flowing into the sea, and up along the coast as far as Southport and beyond to the Blackpool tower.

A whole generation of Liverpudlians have grown up with the Tate on their doorstep - as have seven generations of university students
For a start, there was the branding. Everyone knew that \"Tate\" meant \"Turners and Constables\". So everyone thought that Henry Tate's paintings were \"coming home\" to Liverpool. They said, for instance, that architect James Stirling's orange and blue cladding for the building was like a supermarket. A bit of a smack in the face to everyone who had worked hard to save the unique maritime heritage of Albert Dock from being turned into a car park. No sooner had it been restored as \"heritage\" than this futurist art gallery landed like a spaceship. Lewis Biggs looks back with fondness on his time with Tate Liverpool; Lewis Biggs inspects Carl Andre's work made entirely of bricks; Before Another Place, Antony Gormley created Bed, made entirely of pieces of bread; Daily Post Arts Editor Philip Key is transfixed by William Turnbull's No. 7, in 1993

Letter: Statue's success
I WAS delighted by your doublepage spread on Superlambanana, reflecting on 10 years' reception of one piece of public art by the people of Liverpool. It shows how \"iconic status\" isn't something you can \"commission\", it comes about through people's reactions.

Thought for 08 ; 08 DAYS A WEEK
Then I met a man who runs a charity who told me he has to 're- brand'. 'Kindness is so old fashioned' he said, 'Rich people these days want fun.' I wonder if that dog had eaten leftovers from a rich man's party, would it have searched out the rich man's house four weeks later?

MOTORING: Full SERVICE HISTORY - Scenic is ideal car for taxi- ingchildren
THE chief executive of the Liverpool Biennial,Lewis Biggs,first visited Liverpool when he was 'dragged' to the city by his first girl friend back in 1976. The Liverpool Biennial which runs from September 18 toNovember 28 promises to be more spectacular than ever with an iceberg in the Port of Liverpool building and an Abba museum on the Pier Head just to name two of the many and varied displays. What do you drive now and why? I drive a Renault Megane Scenic. I spend a lot of time taxi-ingmy children and their friends around so it's perfect for that. We also go on holiday camping in Scotland, up in Inverness-shire,and the car easily holds tents and other camping paraphernalia.
