Touched, 2010

It's been an unforgivable amount of time since I last blogged.  My excuse is summer and the fact that I spent most of it in Blackburn, not by choice may I add.  Well, kind of not by choice, my other half lives there.  Anyway, it's Liverpool Biennial time, so what better way to kick start this blog by talking about Liverpool Biennial's 2010 exhibition, Touched.  From 18th September to 28th November.

Touched is exhibiting new art that is all about affecting the viewer in mind, body and soul.  Liverpool Biennial is showcasing 50 international contemporary artists and has invited prominent thinkers and artists to delivers a monthly series of talks.


Half the exhibition is in public spaces across the city and half in Liverpool's major gallery spaces such as Tate Liverpool the Bluecoat, FACT, A Foundation and Open Eye Gallery.  There is also John Moores 2010, which is a leading painting competition which is held at the Walker Art Gallery, and  Bloomberg New Contemporaries - the cream of the UK's post-graduate students.  City States - International exhibitions on cultural dynamics between cities and states.
