Liverpool is a city which is for real. It lives on its wits. It burns with passion. It disarms with humour. It has so much beauty. It's a city that has a creative energy all of its own. Liverpool, like many great cultural cities, is creative and destructive in equal measure; from this wild energy, moments of true genius are born. It is this energy that makes Liverpool the perfect place for an international gathering of contemporary artists
