Foundation to support the development
and exhibition of contemporary art in
Liverpool. A Foundation (a registered UK
charity) was the vehicle through which
he initiated the Liverpool Biennial of
Contemporary Art in 1999. This is now
the UK's largest contemporary visual
arts festival.
In September 2006 A Foundation
launched the newly refurbished
Greenland Street site, three former
industrial buildings in Liverpool at the
heart of the old port area. The
foundation has been instrumental in
refurbishing these historic warehouses to
create some of the largest exhibition
spaces in the UK and, in the process,
helping to regenerate an entire area.
In addition to its activities in Liverpool, A
Foundation has now established itself in
Londons East End at Rochelle School
on the Boundary Estate.
