Exhibition at Irish Museum of Modern Art

Exhibition at Irish Museum of Modern Art
A unique exhibition aimed to stimulate visual arts by people with disabilities was open to the public at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Thursday 17 June 2010.

This exhibition had works from the collections of South Tipperary County Council, Mayo County Council, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

From Artdaily.com:

The idea that a visual art exhibition should be accessible to all is not a new one, most museums and galleries have an access programme that enables people with disabilities to experience art works. However, the idea of selecting an entire exhibition with an emphasis on accessibility in a multi-dimensional way is relatively new in Ireland. The exhibition aims to enhance people’s engagement with the works through the tactility of relief models, by listening to the audio and artist’s descriptions and by viewing the sign language interpretation by Amanda Coogan.

Altered Images works on many levels. The selected works all make reference to classical or art historical sources either in the method of depiction or their subject matter. While each of the partner organisations has very different Collections in terms of capacity and the period of time they have been collecting, it was agreed at the outset that each would be represented equally. Each art work is accompanied by a multi-sensory display in order to provide meaningful access. In addition, an audio CD and Braille documentation of the large-print exhibition catalogue are available on request. Sign language tours are available by arrangement and an accessible website for the project can be found at www.alteredimages.ie

Altered images will continue at IIMA till 15 August 2010 and admission is free.
