Step into a realm of sensory exploration at Liverpool Cathedral’s art exhibition, Infinite Encounters, as part of their centenary celebrations.
This captivating exhibition promises to engage all five senses through a collection of five remarkable art pieces, each inspired by Touch, Sight, Hearing, Smell, and Taste.
Infinite Encounters is not your typical art exhibition. It’s an interactive journey designed to provide visitors with a participatory and sensorial experience of art. Say goodbye to the traditional notion of admiring art from a distance; this exhibition encourages you to actively engage with the artworks and experience contemporary art in a whole new way.
Local artist Francis Disley invites you to explore the essence of Liverpool Cathedral through smell. Her piece will awaken your olfactory senses and offer a unique perspective on the architectural marvels of our beloved cathedral.
Acclaimed artist Rasheed Araeen’s masterpiece, “Zero to Infinity,” will inspire your sense of touch. Previously featured at the Tate, this tactile experience invites you to feel the texture of creativity as you immerse yourself in Araeen’s intricate work.
But the sensory experience doesn’t stop there. As part of the Taste aspect of the exhibition, indulge in a bespoke menu available at the Cathedral’s popular Welsford Bistro. Let your palate savour the flavours and textures that complement the artistry on display.
The Very Rev Dr Dean Sue Jones says: ‘I am really excited to see some interactive art in the Cathedral. The Cathedral speaks of itself as a place of Encounter where all are welcome. We hope that when people visit the Cathedral they will have an encounter with the building and with each other. This installation allows people to encounter one another and the Cathedral as they create their own art from Rasheeds Araeen’s installation from Zero to Infinity. In a world that has become more individualistic it will be really good to see how people reflect on the world in which they live and how they interpret that together through Araeen’s installation of cubes.’
Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to engage your senses and embark on a journey of artistic discovery at Liverpool Cathedral’s Infinite Encounters exhibition. Whether you’re a seasoned art enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience, this exhibition promises to captivate and inspire.
