Superlamb Bananas

[marie]

What is it? I am looking for information, but only I can find it:

The Super Lamb Banana statue by Taro Chiezo (1998) is seen here from the front and side. The yellow-painted scupture, part banana, part lamb, stands appropriately in front of the premises of Joseph P Lamb on Carpenters Row.

I am not sure, but I am thinking that its a statue representative of the Liverpool 2008. If it is true, I like to know somes questions, for example, why is a banana and a lamb representative of the city? What people think about the statue?

Thank u!!

[A.D.W]

And it changes colour according to the time of year!

Thanks for reply, it´s funny the change of colour. It´s a simple statue, but I think that it´s funny. But I do not know why a banana its representative of the city!

I believe it is to do when Garston docks used to import lots and lots of bananas before the last war, Marie. Add them to the importation of lambs you have the Super Lamb Banana!

Oh! And the Lamb Banana is more than a mere simple statue!

Most Liverpool people are very fond of Lamb Banana :)

There are a minority who say they don't like this sculpture but I think the majority are very fond of it.

I love it. :) I couldn't imagine L'pool without it now.

[Ged]

The Superlamb Banana was not made to represent 08 though the culture company have used their logo on it as they tend to hijack things :unibrow: like the Big History Festival and the Mathew Street festival that were here before.

The Superlamb banana is now outside the newer JMU building at the Tithebarn st, Vauxhall Rd and Hatton Garden junction and it has been lime green and purple depending on which charity or organisation rent it.

One, located as described above, moved from outside Joseph Lamp prior to the demolition of that site. There are hundreds of little replicas though in the 08 and gift shops etc...

Hope Students at Everton hard at work

Go Superlambananas!

Artists from all over the region are being invited to submit designs for quite possibly the most quirky and vibrant event being held throughout Capital of Culture year.

With 2008 fast approaching, Go Superlambananas is also possibly the most ambitious and all encompassing project to yet to be announced and the organisers are calling for contributions from Birkenhead to Bootle.

Running from June to September, Wild In Art, together with Liverpool Hope University and the City Council, are asking for local artists to become involved in placing over 100 highly decorated versions of the iconic statue in Liverpool, to form a trail through the city streets and boroughs as a demonstration of the region’s artistic talent and bursaries will be available for designing and creating the army of Superlambananas.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/images/2007/11/21/lamb_paint_203_02_203x152.jpg
Statues will form a trail through city streets

‘We wanted to come up with something in which people could use their imaginations, reflect the culture of the area and its sense of fun. Using this fabulous icon created by Japanese artist Taro Chiezo as a canvas is a great way of doing all that,’ said Charlie Langhorne of Wild In Art and organiser of Manchester’s memorable Cow Parade.

‘We want all forms of art involved, not just traditional paintings, whether professional or amateur, and across the spectrum. Poets, photographers, authors, new media … the whole lot, but using whatever they think will work on a three-dimensional canvas. We really want to reflect the area’s culture, vitality and humour. Let’s get these things flying, dancing and singing. It’s a really exciting project and has already caught people’s imagination.’

Professor Bill Chambers of Liverpool Hope Cornerstone Campus in Everton said: ‘My aim is to show just how exciting, inventive and colourful Liverpool can be and this is the perfect project for us to show those things.
Everybody knows what the Superlambanana is and where it comes from, so what we want to do is take the project to local schools and get them involved as well, prior The Big Hope Youth Conference taking place from June 4 to June 11, next year.

The deadline for designs to be submitted is mid-February, so there is plenty of time for artists to get their thinking caps on and to make this one of the most memorable events of Capital of Culture year.’

There's a Superlambanana mock-up outside the Met Quarter. I've no idea how long it's been there.

[Kev]

THE Metquarter has become the latest business to sign up to a major art project centred around Liverpool’s Superlambbanana. Read (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2007/11/24/metquarter-puts-super-green-lamby-on-parade-100252-20154088/)

[chippie]

I,d rather see new statues of the Liverbirds around the city and a flippin, huge one on the crossroads of Church/Paradise,Lord/Whitechapel for the new era instead of promoting lambanana which has no relevence to the city whatever and some loony is promoting crap and trying to make a name for himself. Cute as they are, there is no place in our culture or city for rubbish like this.:ninja:

The lambanana was a piece of art commissioned in the city. It had a typical Scouse response of either Loving or Loathing it.

It's also a reminder that Fyffes at Garston were the major importers of bananas to this country, although I don't know if the sculptor was aware of that.

I like it. It's another thing to add to the city, but I dont want to see the mad fuit lamb everywhere.
We should have more new and curious things for tourists to see/do instead of lots of Beatles stuff.

I know some people that think all there is in the city is Matthew Street, and some people just want to keep anything coz it's old and not spend money of anything new (like a Buck Rogers themed hotel FTW :PDT11)

Not that old chestnut again. Can you imagine how dull the city would be if you never spent any money on non essential things? Why not melt down all the Beatles statues and sell the metal to pay for a teacher or nurse.

Superlambananas back to their spiritual home
Apr 17 2008
by Ben Turner, Liverpool Echo

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/article/11162100/2008/04/16/12135535.jpeg

A FLOCK of mini-Superlambananas have found shelter in their spiritual home.

A trail of the colourful pieces of art will adorn Liverpool and surrounding areas on June 16 for the Go Superlambananas! event.

Organiser Wild In Art has found the ideal place to store the figures ahead of their big day - the Matchworks, in Garston, where the original Superlambanana was created in 1998.

The arts group has taken 5,500 sq ft of space in a deal with developer Urban Splash.

The venue will be used as a studio for artists and community groups, who have been commissioned to apply their own designs to the mini-Superlambananas.

Project director Sally Ann Wilkinson said: “Given this was the birthplace of Superlambanana, I cannot think of a more fitting place for us.”

New curry dish celebrates city’s Superlambhunana
Jun 3 2008
by Richard Down, Liverpool Daily Post

ONE of Liverpool’s oldest and most popular Indian restaurants is paying tribute to the famous Superlambanana with the invention of a new curry.

Mustafa and Salina Rahman, owners of the Gulshan, on Aigburth Road, are inviting customers to try the “Superlambhunana”, which contains lamb, bananas and a combination of aromatic herbs and spices.

The unusual dish will become a regular feature at the newly refurbished restaurant, while the city plays host to hundreds of the iconic part-sheep, part-fruit sculptures, displayed in prominent parts of the city to forge a coherent trail.

They're a brilliant family who are an asset to Liverpool. They originally lived in Anfield and I remember them from school. I knew them through some family friends too.

They always get involved with whatever is happening in Liverpool - they are often seen in the Echo or on the local news.

the original has got a new lick of paint...could still smell it...and thankfully he's lost that awful insipid colour he's had recently.

No japanese flag on the anti racism yellow lamb banana, left out for a reason or is it on the other side, just an observation nothing more, I know it's sculpted by a japanese artist, wonder if we'd be adoring this thing if it had been sculpted by ringo , I can't get my head around the whole concept other than someone has sold us something that doesn't relate to the city at all in a specific way, i know its to do with genetic modification etc.... whats that got to do with liverpool

I believe that Garston docks used to handle the import bananas and lambs in then good old days. Maybe this has something to do with it?

lol, almost every city in the world has an import station for lambs and bananas, wonder what the cost of these are, I would of thought Liverpool would have been pushing images/ statues/ works and momentos of its famous sons and daughters in this celebration year that is half gone already to the rest of the world

Spotted . . . students’ Superlambanana design destined for business district
Jun 13 2008
by Laura Sharpe, Liverpool Daily Post

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/article/20031701/2008/06/13/12185791.jpeg

A BUSINESS-INSPIRED Superlambanana will soon take its place on Liverpool’s Old Hall Street.

This colourful sculpture has been designed by Year 10 students from Savio High School.

As a business and enterprise college, Alliance and Leicester asked the pupils to design one of their two commissioned figurines.

Students were asked what business means to them, and, working with artist Kerry Hunt , came up with the design.

Given its future position at the heart of the business district, Year 7 pupils decided on gold coins for eyes and two contrasting skylines.

The pupils involved were Antonia Johnson, Emily Rebic, Ryan Fer- guson, Katy Tyson, Sam Briscoe, Jamie Clarkson, Lynsey O'Rourke and Sarah Humphray.

DON’T miss Monday’s Daily Post for a Go Superlambananas special.

A BAA Baa Braille Sheep has set up home at Lime Street Station as 120 Superlambananas prepare to appear in the city.

The sheep, designed by Polish artist Jola Kurzeja-Ryan and visually-impaired Merseyside youngsters, is one of 30 of the models created with help from the community.

The customised copies of the Liverpool statue, created for the Culture Company-commissioned Go Superlambananas project, will appear on Monday.

good job the festival is 6 weeks, gives me plenty of time to photograph them all. I've got 17 so far, but until the list is released I'm not sure if all I've photographed are in the SLB festival.

THOUSANDS of people are expected to “follow the flock” when more than 100 Superlambananas are put out to graze in Liverpool.

The colourful replicas of the iconic sculpture will be laid out in a trail across the city this weekend ahead of the official launch of Go Superlambananas on Monday.

I like the way they placed the Church street and the one by the town hall though. Can do a shot of them on a sunnier day with everyday people and the buildings In the background In the Castle street one anyway. That'd make a decent capital of culture lamb banana shot.

for all you narrow minded art loavers out there SUPERLABMBANANA is not only (in my opinion) a great artwork it also has the import / export theme, which made Liverpool what it is, at its core. It is the importation of bananas and the same ships leaveing with wool. Its been around now for several years and in that time has adoped much of the citys sence of humour. Its shape ect being part of that Scouse humour theme. As an artist myself I would have been proud to have come up with this concept and finished work (which is also evolving) and no I don't love ALL new art. The SLB will and has already become part of our rich heritage (like it or not) For those of you who think there should be little Liver birds everywhere I would remind you that the theroy is that The artist was asked to draw an eagle for the Liverpool seal and not knowing what one looked like based it more on the cormerant that could be seen on the Mersey. So if true the Liver birds themselfs are a little bit like chimera, a little SLB themselfs.....Seen some small SLB mutents in the internal gardens of Fazackery hospital

Another moan about tv coverage;

BBC Breakfast news did give us a good slot by reporting on the Lambananas. They did show lots of them and talked about them, so I can't complain about that.

Now, the sound wasn't turned up on the tv so I might not have heard properly - but the first person they interviewed was making a Lambanana in a prison ! ( I might be mistaken) - now why did they have to focus on prison !!
Then they went onto say that the Lord Mayor Lambanana had been vomited on over the weekend and ' sorry to put you off your breakfast !!'

Now why did they have to say that ! :neutral: making us look like a laughing stock.

Just ignore it, that's what I do. Any decent person would visit Liverpool before they make a judgement on it, and so what if one had been vomited on, that could happen anywhere and who's to say that a scouser vomited on it?
The vast majority of our press coverage is positive, so if a minority want to be negative then let them, they're the ones that look like fools not us.:PDT10

No narrow minded art lover here but just someone who thinks that these SLB are a waste of money,look stupid,have NOTHING to do with Liverpool.
I would rather see the money spent elsewhere (crime ridden areas,boared up houses,waste ground-flytippers paradise).
They look ugly and are a silly idea and who is making money out of these ??

[AK1]

Not every piece of art has to have something to do with Liverpool, that would be quite narrow minded. Liverpool is a multicultural city with international appeal. The Lambanana is a great way of showing how Liverpool is an international city with the ability to attract international artists highlighting a very global issue.
Money well spent I say!:handclap:

[lindylou]

I know what people mean when they say the money could be spent on other things but we do need a bit of light entertainment as well. We can't be serious all the time. You've got to have a bit of fun sometimes and the Superlambs do brighten up the place and it's fun for people spotting where they are.

I disagree. They are out there, people respond to them with a smile and positivity. They talk about them, the bring people into areas that otherwise wouldnt go to.

Their creation has brought people together in the workplace, organisations and associations, even schools have been involved in their creation. Our children need this kind of buzz in their most informative years to inspire them and engage them, creating pride in themselves and their city.

There was nothing like this when I was growing up, I have the opportunity to show my children positive images of their city rather than exposing them to 'another shooting'.

[christy]

The money can't be spent on reducing crime etc because it is arts money and business sponsor money and ringfenced for that purpose.

I love them and think they have really engaged the people of the city and visitors. As for being relevant to the city - Is Wellington on his column any more relevant to Liverpool? Would a Picasso bought by the Walker be relevant to the city? Is the art submitted to the John Moores exhibition relevant to the city? Is a rare first edition owned by Liverpool libraries relevant to the city?( if you hate the Superlamb banana, it has done its job in the same way as if you love it, it has got you to engage in some way! Art to me is about opinions and only a waste or failiure if you dont notice it)

Little lambanana goes walkabout
Jun 17 2008
by Laura Sharpe, Liverpool Daily Post

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/article/20031701/2008/06/17/12189021.jpeg

A MINI Superlambanana has been stolen from Liverpool’s Hope Street.

The half-sized Superlambanana was taken from a collection of black Superlambananas decorated as builders.

It was one of five figures with yellow hard hats and fluorescent work jackets sat outside Maghull Developments’ office.

The figures were placed on the street on Saturday morning and people working in the area said it had disappeared by Sunday morning.

The figures are part of Go Superlambananas, a ten-week public art project which has seen 119 replicas placed across the city.

Most of the figures have been placed on plinths for display, but these five were attached directly to the pavement.

A spokesman for Wild in Art who organised Go Superlambananas said: “At the moment, because this is a new project it is attracting a lot of attention.

“An unfortunate side effect of that is that this Superlambanana has disappeared. It would be nice if we could get him back.”

The half-sized Superlambanana was taken from a collection of black Superlambananas decorated as builders.

A MINI Superlambanana has been stolen from Liverpool’s Hope Street.

The half-sized Superlambanana was taken from a collection of black Superlambananas decorated as builders.

It was one of five figures with yellow hard hats and fluorescent work jackets sat outside Maghull Developments’ office.

The figures were placed on the street on Saturday morning and people working in the area said it had disappeared by Sunday morning.

The figures are part of Go Superlambananas, a ten-week public art project which has seen 119 replicas placed across the city.

Most of the figures have been placed on plinths for display, but these five were attached directly to the pavement.

A spokesman for Wild in Art who organised Go Superlambananas said: “At the moment, because this is a new project it is attracting a lot of attention.

“An unfortunate side effect of that is that this Superlambanana has disappeared. It would be nice if we could get him back.”

I hope they are ashamed of themselves especially as they will be auctioned for charity when the festival ends. what if it had been one of the schools ones where kids had spent ages decorating them, they'd be gutted.

yet more ammo for the Scousers will nick anything brigade :disgust:

I'm glad I photographed the 60 that were at Garston on the saturday. at least they were undamaged.

after just 2 days the Wagbag one has it's ear tag missing and the 'ewes water wisely' at the Albert Dock is now missing it's pedals. a couple have had their name cards taken too. :disgust:

no wonder people give Liverpool a bad name when people can't even respect something that's bringing joy to a lot of people. it makes me so mad. :mad:

we are supposed to have CCTV cameras everywhere so hopefully they will show who's shaming the city again.

They're probably worried about getting sued. It'd be ok by them probably if the parents took the responsibility should the child fall, but would they?

The stuff we used to climb on - old air raid shelters, blitzed bombdies - if we got hurt and went home with a cut knee it'd be a clip round the ear or 'it's your own fault' - not onto the council about having dangerous structures.

Is it any wonder why we get such bad press.

I saw a preview copy of the leaflet that the Tourist Offices will have on the SLB the other day. On it is a number on which you can ring the SLB "vet" to come out and do repairs so hopefully it can be fixed. Totally agree with you though that it shouldn't have to be.

I’m going to create a Supersizebanana
Jun 21 2008
by Catherine Jones, Liverpool Echo

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/liverpoolecho/jun2008/7/2/A9FE5168-FECD-BE4B-A24A8333B0ADE3D1.jpg

THE sculptor who brought the original Superlambanana to life is to create a new giant model of the iconic city statue.

Julian Taylor has teamed up with property developer Urban Splash to build a “comeback” Superlambanana – a decade after he created the original.

The 40-year-old from Aigburth spent three months working on the original Superlambanana at the Matchworks site in Garston, early in 1998, recreating artist Taro Chiezo’s original vision for Liverpool.

The new Superlambanana will be a stainless steel “chassis” without the paint-covered concrete coating.

Mr Taylor said: “When we were working on the first Superlambanana I can honestly say the most inspiring stage was when we had completed the armature, just before we put the concrete on.

“We could see all angles of this fantastic model. It seemed a shame to cover it up and that’s why, this time, I was determined to create an original model at its finest stage.

“It’s my interpretation of the statue, a simple wire frame view of it which is beautiful and quite delicate at the same time.”

The Urban Splash model will become a permanent fixture at the Superlambanana’s original Matchworks home.

It is anticipated the sculpture, being created in Mr Taylor’s Bridewell studio, will be finished by the end of July.

But the sculptor is having to work from photographs and memory to build the new model.

He said: “Back in 1998, we created a small hatch in the Superlambanana’s belly so we could climb in and out of the sculpture while we were adding the concrete exterior.

“When we were completing the model, we thought it would be a great idea to permanently seal the original plans inside as a sort of time capsule – little did we know that we’d need them 10 years on.”

Lynn Haime, associate director at Urban Splash Work, said: “The model will become an excellent attraction, not only for the people who work at Matchworks but for those passing the site every day.”

Any updates regarding this?

[lindylou]

I am a fan of the Superlambs but we should have some focus on our Liver birds too. As someone has already suggested - a huge Liver bird statue in a public place would be brilliant.

[shoney]

if there is no super huge liverbird , i'd be a bit bothered if there was a super huge lamb chop, as the lamb means absolutely nothing to me or the city, or my forefathers, maybe the city could change its name to superlambverpool to make it ok , in the words of jim royle' my a**e, ' there are bigger and better things to be proud of, look around you, give yourself 24 hours and you'll find 20 things that have a lower profile but have 10 times + more to do with liverpool. sitting from the oputside I can't see anything that it has to do directly with Liverpool, can anyone else, I'm all for people having a laugh , culture for sculpture, symbolism etc..... but really can't get it, they are saturated across the city ' Why ?it's got nothing to do with me, my parents , grandparents etc. or the city they lived in and loved, looks like a marketing and pr campaign to me, i'm not sold.............. sell it to me, i'l listen.

[PhilipG]

Forget about genetic engineering.
I associate it with Liverpool's export/import trade.
Garston was famous for importing bananas, and the SLB's links with the Matchworks are a good coincidence.
Besides, it looks cute, and brings a smile to most faces.
I love it.

I think it's due to be unvelied as part of the launch of "Allerton in Bloom". A scheme much like "Woolton in Bloom". It should really be "Mossley Hill in Bloom" as the plans are for flower tubs etc all along the Allerton Rd shops which of course are not in Allerton.

Capital of Culture only lasts for one year. Its a thing the whole city should feel part of. However most events (that will bring in the tourists) are going to be based in the city centre. The SLBs are a way of showing everyone that their area is a part of this special year.

Some people, particularly kids like to collect things, so its only natural that knowing there's a limit number of SLBs around for a limit time, they are going to want to see and photograph them before they've gone forever. This is a great idea as it gets people to parts of the city they've probably never ever thought about or had a reason to go to. This is a bit of fun and is great for the local economy who get new customers who pop in while passing near the SLBs.
However it will also show these visitors that there are still badly run down areas of this city and that the council should be embarrassed enough to do something about them.

Repairing paving slabs etc.. isn't going to bring people in to visit these places.

In 30 years John you'll be on another forum like this asking people to post a full set of SLB photos:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Great photo...Interesting how the lambanana is full of flowers, and the rose bushes empty of their foliage..

Almost looks like the flowers flew to the lambanana and attached themselves... Quite surreal... ta for sharing.. :PDT_Aliboronz_11:

Personally they are strange looking..yet, do represent something we need to all address...the altering of mother nature and what it could cause..

Do they post a little plaque by them to tell what they represent? Just wondered....
