Common Touch: The Art of the Senses in the History of the Blind is a multimedia exhibition that looks at historical embossed and raised-letter documents for the visually impaired as a starting point for a multi-sensory exploration of the nature of perception. Inspired by her research in the Library Company’s Michael Zinman Collection of Printing for the Blind, artist-in-residence Teresa Jaynes’s exhibition on display April 4 – October 21, 2016 combines her own original works with historical collections that document the education of the blind in the 19th century.
Curated by Katherine Allen, Rachel D’Agostino, Teresa Jaynes, and Erika Piola, 2016.
