Within the framework of Biennial of visual arts of Liverpool, Richard Wilson intervenes in full center of the city. With its creation “Turning the place over”, a fragment of frontage swivels on 360° under the glance of the passers by.

With two steps of the Moorfields station, the British sculptor Richard Wilson thus carried out an ovoid cutting of form 8 meters in diameter in the frontage of the Cross-country race Keys House. The fragment, then assembled on pivot, turns and oscillates on 360°, letting guess the entrails of the building.

A work visible until the end of the year 2008 and which is not without pointing out the work of the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark, made famous for its interventions on buildings to the abandonment in which it carried out broad geometrical borings, cutting out frontages, walls, floors or ceilings.
