Touching Art Touching You

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, in March 2008. 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.

 "Over throwing years of not being allowed to touch art. Quite mind bending". Exhibition visitor

“Felt nervous and excited touching the art. Taboo/freedom/liberating." Exhibition visitor

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