In the lecture, Lewis Biggs will talk about the \u201cTouched\u201d exhibition in this September\u2019s International show for Liverpool Biennial, as well as about a selection of UK based artists \u2013 as different as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howardhodgkin.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Howard Hodgkin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.katiecuddon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katie Cuddon<\/a> \u2013 who might have been selected for the exhibition if the International show included UK based artists. The lecture will take place thanks to the generous support of airline <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.airbaltic.lv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airBaltic<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTouched\u201d is an exhibition about a particular kind of art \u2013 affective art \u2013 and at the same time about an approach to making and viewing this art. Art is created equally by the artist and the viewer or as in 1957 artist Marcel Duchamp wrote: \u201cThe creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his own contribution to the creative act.\u201d The creative act requires the viewer to participate \u2013 and the more levels on which the viewer is engaged, the greater the power of art.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Biggs is the Chief Executive and Artistic Director of Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art which is\u00a0 one of the most exciting contemporary visual arts events in the UK, and with 960,000 visits in 2008, it is also one of the best attended in the world. Lewis Biggs has led the company to become a leading art commissioning agency working in the public realm, as well as the promoter of the UK\u2019s largest visual art\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n<p>Before Liverpool Biennial Lewis was Director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tate Liverpool<\/a>, an exhibition officer for the Visual Arts Department of the British Council, and Gallery Co-ordinator for Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol. Now Biggs is Visiting Professor of Contemporary Art and an Honorary Fellow of Liverpool John Moores University, and is General Editor of Tate Modern Artists.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Biggs gained an MA in modern history from Oxford University, an MA with distinction in the History of Art from London University (Courtauld Institute).
