Sense & Sensuality 2006
Touch
The Art world’s ultimate taboo
is banished in the acclaimed selling exhibition
Bankside Gallery
14 September - 8 October 2006
2006 sees the return of the second annual exhibition “Sense & Sensuality” organised by BlindArt, a pioneering charity that promotes artistic excellence regardless of visual-ability. We promote works of art for and by visually impaired as well as sighted artists and showcase them side by side, challenging the public to tell the difference.
Sense & Sensuality is the culmination of a nationwide competition, open to all artists, to create works of art that are accessible to everyone, including visually impaired people.
BlindArt encourages the artists to adopt their own interpretation of this brief. The only stipulation that BlindArt makes is that the artists must allow their works to be explored through touch.
BlindArt was thrilled by the quality of works submitted and is proud to present an extravaganza of contemporary interactive art encompassing paintings, sculpture & installations, all of which break through traditional hierarchies & barriers in the arts by inviting visitors to experience them through touch as well as sight, smell and sound.
Sense & Sensuality is an inclusive exhibition that provides large print, Braille, tactile images and audio-description information for visually impaired visitors. BSL and text transcripts are available for deaf people and visitors with hearing loss.
All works are for sale with proceeds going to raise funds for BlindArt projects.
