Synesthesia
Extension of perception for blind and sighted
------------------------------**------------------------------**

July 25 - August 3, 2012
opening July 24, 18:00

Synesthesia is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one
sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in
a second sensory or cognitive pathway. The media of art effecting the
different senses, fine art generates visual stimuli. For the ones not
having the ability of sight the pleasure of the reception of fine art works
is almost impossible. However fine art not just consists of visually
perceptible works. We can face in the galleries and museums more and more
audiovisual or completely aural works, which engage not just the eye but
the ear as well.

The Synesthesia exhibition would like to actuate blind and partially
sighted to perceive fine art with art pieces, which are producing
compassion, by the operation of one sense activating another. The
installations are inviting blind and visually impaired as well as sighted
to extend their own perception.


Four young artists from Central Europe, Martin Blazicek, Andras Blazsek,
Laszlo Kiss and Attila Zerczi prepared audiovisual installations in a
partial cooperation with blind and partially sighted volunteers and
artists. During 2012 the exhibition is travelling to cultural institutions
of Central Europe: 2B Gallery Budapest, Skolska 28 Gallery Prague, Banska
Stanica Contemporary in Banska Stiavnica and to Labirynt Gallery, Lublin.

The work of  the artists' work is contributed by organisations for blind
from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
