In contemporary art, sensuous experiences largely depend on sight and sound. But what happens when these senses fail? Can art be translated for people with visual or auditory impairments? How would their experience differ? What about the role of the sense of touch in art? Ten artists are ready to take on this interesting challenge. They will invite visitors to a blind date: an unexpected confrontation with the "other." Through their diverse works, the artists are willing to take a leap of faith, bringing the public into the margins of art.

Location: Actionfields Gallery (Brussels) / Sportimonium (Hofstade)
