July 25 - August 3, 2012<br>opening July 24, 18:00<br><br></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">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.</span><div class="im" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<br><br>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.
