Liverpool Biennial 2010
Touched
18 September - 28 November 2010
Curator: Lorenzo Fusi
What defines art that has the ability to communicate directly? Emotional experience is common to all humanity. Art that evokes emotion in one individual, despite all the cultural specifics that determine that person’s reactions, will reach out to many other individuals with varied cultural backgrounds.
Touched presented art with emotional impact. Art that not only gained our attention but that moved and motivated us, allowed us to find a way to change ourselves. Art without emotional force is without intellectual power.
