“Touching Art Touching You, MOMA, Wales

BlindArt @ MOMA, Wales… 17th March - 26th April 2008

The revolutionary contemporary art exhibition, Touching Art Touching You, will be launching its multi-sensory, interactive art experience at the Museum of Modern Art, Wales.Touching Art Touching You is a fresh and unique concept on the arts landscape. The exhibition breaks through traditional hierarchies & barriers in the arts by actively encouraging all works to be explored through touch. By shifting the established rules of art appreciation from sight (look) to the sense of touch (feel) the gallery experience instantly becomes an intimate, fresh and liberating art experience.

 

All works in the exhibition feature audio-visual descriptive guide and large print & Braille labels, making them accessible to a diverse audience. The exhibition design considers a broad range of physical access adjustments.
