Transvoyeur
Legacy' is a diverse collection of contemporary art work from
established professional artists to be donated to the Royal Liverpool
University Hospital by the Transvoyeur. This to impart a 'Legacy'
to the city and the hospital prior to the European Capital of
Culture 2008. To be part of the hospital permanent collection
on display for future generations. The objective was to work with
the frontline of the National Health Service in terms of the Emergency
Department with those professionals and department that support
the infrastructure of the citys health and wellbeing in terms
of forging a relationship between arts and health. The concept
was posed by Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney to the arts collective Transvoyeur
and extended to other likeminded artists whom contribute.
The initial launch of the project was to raise the profile of
the Emergency Department and the exceptional work they do combined
with a fund raiser to which local, national and international
artists donated work. The fund raised about £2000.00 that
went direct to the Emergency Department for a wish list of equipment.
Time and resources of Transvoyeur and associate parties were provided
free to enable the event to happen.
The final stage is to bestow the collection of art to improve
the experience of the public spaces and the medical environment.
