'Up & Coming' - 'Giz a Touch'

We can now announce the second 'Up & Coming' exhibition entitled Giz a Touch at Domino Gallery, Liverpool as part of the Liverpool Independents Biennial 2010.

'Giz a Touch' is a scouse colloquialism for ‘to give a helping hand.’ Crawley & Trappe (Up & Coming) and Felicity Wren (Domino Gallery) invite you to participate in a dialogue in an alternative space; a meeting place where a butty (sandwich) and a cuppa char (cup of tea) can be enjoyed alongside art. We invite passers by, strangers to the city and art lovers alike to be ‘touched’.

In response to the Liverpool Biennial theme:
“Touched presents artworks that affect the viewer through addressing a total context (mind, body and place: relatedness in space and time); artworks where investment and inscription, in the particular and the personal, affect the general and the social.” Liverpool Biennial

This is the second Up & Coming exhibition building upon the success of the 2008 exhibition held at Contemporary Urban Centre, Liverpool.

For further details on 'Up & Coming’ – 'Giz a Touch' please see our blog for an ongoing dialogue between artists and curators.

Exhibition contains works photography, video, text and screen printing.
