Blind Data : Please Do Touch

St Leonard's Church is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Kassim Bay and Deano De La Vega.

Collaborating for over 10 years under the masthead of Scratchadelia, it is not a duo you can put a label on and put into a box, apart from a light box maybe. The history of their practice stems from graffito art but has become vast and varied in it’s development. This lead to the investigation and use of braille in their practice which then gave birth to the element of relief in their work and the process of taking away to create something out of nothing. Technique and medium, both, are employed to in art, both two and three-dimensional, to express complex ideas and emotional sensations, shifting perception and drawing attention to the act of touching.

For the first time ever visually impaired people will be able to experience some of the greatest masterpieces of art history (The Creation of Adam, the Mona Lisa, The Scream to name a few).It will be all about interpreting art through senses,specifically through touch. Sound performances, talks/workshops and guided tours for blind and sighted people will be taking place as the artists invite spect-Actors to re:find their forgotten senses.
