Peter Liversidge

No single category or definition can successfully describe Peter Liversidge’s diverse practice which includes work in almost every conceivable medium: drawing, film, performance, photography, installations, books and multiples.

The subjects of his work can seem equally diverse but all begin at the artist’s kitchen table with Liversidge sitting alone writing proposals on an old manual typewriter – ideas for potential performances and artworks conceived of in response to different places. Some of these proposals are realised, many are not, but all are united by an underlying streak of dark, absurdist humour and a gently persistent questioning of the world around us.
