Information on Touching Art Touching You "Touching Art Touching You @ Hove Museum & Art Gallery, June - September 2010... BlindArt @ Hove Museum & Art Gallery… 12 June – 5 September 2010 Touching Art Touching You, a fresh and unique concept in the visual arts comes to Hove Museum & Art Gallery on 12 June. The exhibition breaks traditional barriers by actively encouraging visitors to experience and explore the art on display through touch and other senses. The experience challenges the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art.
The exhibition includes paintings, sculptures and installations, including sound, drawn from the permanent collection of BlindArt. BlindArt is a charity which promotes contemporary works by visually impaired and sighted artists, showcasing them side by side and challenging the public to tell the difference.
Touching Art Touching You appeals to a wide ranging audience, including visually impaired visitors as well as children and families who can enjoy the freedom to explore the art through touch.
Comments from exhibition visitors:
"Over throwing years of not being allowed to touch art. Quite mind bending".
"Touching the work added another dimension to the usual event of looking at art"
"Felt nervous and excited touching the art. Taboo/freedom/liberating"
All works in the exhibition are made accessible to a diverse audience through touch, audio description, large print and Braille labels." BlindArt

Information on Touching Art (SENSE) "Twenty artists who are deafblind are presenting a range of artwork in Touching Art an exhibition at artsdepot’s Apthorp Gallery in North Finchley, London. The exhibition runs until 18 July. Organised by Sense, this exhibition gives a tactile and sensory experience for gallery visitors. Further details about visiting the exhibition are below. A flame-covered double bass, a Jackson Pollock-inspired fluorescent oil painting, and countless colourful bowls are just some of the artworks on show at the exhibition. Since opening on 4 July the exhibition has been met with an enthusiastic response from artsdepot visitors, many of whom are engaging with deafblindness and Sense’s work for the first time. Photos of the artwork can be viewed on Flickr. Exhibition coordinator Graham Nolan said: “Touch is vital to the deafblind artists who have created the works in the exhibition. We think our eyes tell the truth, but they don’t always tell the full story. This exhibition will take you on a journey and challenge you to take on a deafblind artists’ perspective. Sense uses creative art everyday to encourage people to express themselves and communicate and it is great to be able to share this in a London gallery.” Touching Art coincides with the play Not By Bread Alone by the acclaimed Israeli theatre company Nalaga’at, with actors who are deafblind. Find out on this website about the performance and how to book tickets for the play. Exhibition details for visitors:The exhibition runs until Sunday 18 July and is normally open from 12pm - 4pm. Except for: Friday 9 July, 12pm – 10pm; Sunday 11 July, 10am – 6.30pm; Tuesday 13 July, 12pm – 10pm Apthorp Gallery, artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, London N12 0GA
