Touch arrives unexpectedly, locating our most intimate moments in space and time through every sense - emotionally and consciously. To live by these moments where strength and vulnerability conjoin in their terror and beauty is a commitment - a commitment to oneself and to the world that is both personal and political.
Touched - the book traverses topical issues that surrounded and informed the making and experience of the 6th Liverpool Biennial; from fidgeting to the unnamable image of war, to religion and sacrilege, the endurance of Marx and the acceleration of the infosphere. [...] The book also includes the works of over 60 artists who participated in the 'Touched' exhibition, photographed by Thierry Bal and Liz Lock & Mishka Henner.' (back cover)
This publication accompanies the 6th Liverpool Biennial held from September to November 2010. With essays and contributions by multiple authors. Includes bibliographies and brief contributor biographies.
