A Liverpool Field trip to have a look at the Biennial and explore the city, since I had never been before.
Touched was apparently about 'the art that moves you, that's close enough to be under your skin and stirs you in mind, body and soul'.
Although the whole concept of this international exhibition is a fantastic idea, and should be something that happens in other cities, I found most of the works, whilst mostly engaging, a little bit too conceptual for my liking.
52 Renshaw Street: An old hardware shop.
The highlight was a room with a mirrored ceiling by Indian artist NS Harsha.
The Temple of 1000 bells, a canopy of glass bells hung from the ceiling by the artist Laura Belem.
My favourite part of the Biennial:
'Look and touch' at the Bluecoat, a maze of brightly coloured ribbons hung from the ceiling on the top floor. Among the thousands of ribbons, which I was lost in, were two odd figures.
