As part of the Liverpool Biennial touring programme, The Tetley is hosting works by artists Holly Hendry and Taus Makhacheva. Hendry’s large-scale installation Cenotaph reflects her interest in the underground architecture of cities, their circulation systems and hidden histories. ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) Spa by Makhacheva will be exhibited as part of a solo show. The sculptural installation also serves as a spa, in which visitors can book a special facial treatment.
