Visual art relies on the eyes to gather the information that the art is broadcasting. But what if you are visually impaired or completely blind — is art off limits to you? Fortunately, no. “Let’s Keep in Touch” is a good example why art is for everyone. Curated by Whitney Mashburn, the show is the result of Mashburn spending the last year collaborating with blind, social-practice artist Carmen Papalia. Papalia is “promoting a new kind of accessibility and manner of experiencing art,” said Mashburn. Mashburn chose 16 artists whose work is tactile. The resulting display features art that visitors are allowed to touch. That’s a rarity in most museums and galleries. The exhibition also includes Papalia’s recorded conversations with the artists.
