Crypt Gallery Exhibition
Dates: 5th May - 19th May 2011

As part of their efforts to raise awareness of an increased tactile experience in art, both for artists and audiences, Art in Touch has decided to curate a dedicated London exhibition, consisting of a number of artists whose work in various media is directly concerned with the sense of touch and which utilises it as a tool for a heightened, conscious exploration of human perception.
Concept of the Crypt Gallery exhibition:
We propose to engage with and utilise the inherently tactile, organic qualities of the Crypt Gallery, bringing the artwork on display into a dialogue with its surroundings, resulting in a unified and enriched experience for all concerned, one where the common factor becomes the direct sensual experience of the body within a space, and its encounters with the various tactile artworks.
In this case, the variety of media deployed is important, as a means to stress the general applicability and resonance of touch across the spectrum of cultural expression.
Among the artists proposed for this exhibition are:
Katie Gaudion
Rosalyn Driscoll
Bonnie Kemske
Stephen Cornford
