In the week that The FACT Centre on Wood Street unveiled its latest exhibition, The Art of Pop video, I was able to meet up with Norwegian musician and photographer Grethe Borsum and spend time with her talking about her new musical venture and her inspired video for the song Apple Picking. The talented and charming woman from Baerum near Oslo came to Liverpool in 2003 and attended L.I.P.A and received a B.A. in Music and Performing Arts.
It seems so common place now, a part of Liverpool’s ever growing claim as the powerhouse of culture within the U.K. but go back a few years and The FACT centre at the top end of Wood Street as many of its visitors have come know, appreciate and love was not there. If not for the fore sighted vision some of the great films and art installations that have been shown there in the last ten years may not have even come to the city in the first place.
