Statement
Touch is the mark of truth, the most intimate gesture ad the greatest commitment. To touch or be touched is the performance of truth, when incredulity is displaced and the world condenses into a moment of all-enveloping realisation, changing everything. 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 International exhibition for Liverpool Biennial 2010, presented the work of over 60 artists.

Jaume Plensa: Dream
Chosen by a group of ex-miners and commissioned by St Helens Council as part of of The Big Art Project, Dream stands 20 metres high, sited on top of the former Sutton Manor Colliery overlooking the M62, a gateway sculpture for both Merseyside and Greater Manchester at the heart of the North West.
