See Merseyside Stuckist artist, Jasmine Maddock on the BBC Liverpool Biennial video.

Jasmine Maddock on Yoko Ono's installation Skyladders in St. Luke's church:
"It's a concept, but it's a concept that's a bit of a joke. It's just a bunch of stepladders. They've not actually been painted. It doesn't say anything about Liverpool culture directly or indirectly. It reminds me of going to a very weird jumble sale, where everything is ladders and that's all you can buy. The space hasn't been used adequately at all. It could have been filled with so much more beauty."

Jasmine Maddock on the John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize in the Walker Art Gallery:
This exhibition is great, because it's actually artwork, rather than stepladders and videos. It's traditional art, but with a twist. It's imaginative and creative, and it's everything that art in Liverpool should be.

Jasmine Maddock is the founder of The Merseyside Stuckists and was an exhibitor in the Stuckists An Antidote to the Ghastly Turner Prize.
