As part of the Liverpool Biennial 2006, The Royal Standard presented Sinking Towards Wishy Mountain, an exhibition of 10 new works by established and emerging artists from Liverpool, England, and Stavanger, Norway. Initiated in response to Liverpool and Stavanger's joint Capital of Culture 2008 status, and quickly developing into a North Sea-crossing tag-team voyage of discovery, the resulting work of each artist's residency champions art, dialogue, adventure and cultural nuance.
