3 SPACE - Re:THINK ART


#3SpaceRethink Festival 

1st - 3rd May 2013
12.00 - 9.00pm
FREE EVENT
With a FREE ticket you will have the chance to explore the 3Space Blackfriars hub and get involved in...

Scratchadelia have curated their newest ‘blind’ art exhibition exclusively for Re:THINK Blackfriar, inviting visitors to rethink how they connect with spaces and art as a sensory experience.
Creating haptic murals under the masthead of Scratchadelia, Kassim Bay and Django DeLaVega have been recycling abandoned spaces into a new kind of art museum where you are allowed to touch, making the art world accessible to people with sight loss.
During the 3 day exhibition, spect-Actors will be invited to a sensory fĂȘte where they will be able to re:experience some tactile re:production of the most iconic artworks and to re:USE their forgotten senses to re:IMAGINE the ways of seeing and re:THINK our environment. 

Alice Vaughan: "Scratchadelia will run a very interesting exhibition – they use braille and relief to create artwork for people with visual impairments, making use of forgotten space within the building which you would never think could be used for an art exhibition."

But that's not all...
Check out the programme of WORKSHOPS AND MASTERCLASSES, TALKS AND DISCUSSIONS, PANELS AND PARTIES also running as part of Re:THINK.
FREE EVENT - Make sure you BOOK to guarantee a place. 

from midday til 6pm

BLIND DATA : PLEASE DO TOUCH ART


St Leonard's Church is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Kassim Bay and Django DeLaVega.

Creating for over 10 years under the masthead of Scratchadelia, it is not a duo you can label or put into a box, apart from a light box maybe. ..

The history of their practice stems from graffito art but has become vast and varied in its development. This has led to the investigation and use of braille in their practice which has given birth to the element of relief in their work. The process of taking away to literally create something out of nothing. 

Technique and medium are utilised in both two and three-dimensional aspects. Complex ideas and emotional sensations are expressed, shifting perceptions and specifically drawing attention to the act of touching.

For the first time ever, people with sight loss will be able to experience some of the greatest masterpieces of art history such as The Creation of Adam, the Mona Lisa and The Scream.

Visitors will be encouraged to interpret art directly through their senses, particularly through touch. Sound performances, talks/workshops and guided tours for blind and sighted people will be taking place as the artists invite spect-Actors to re:find their forgotten senses.



- Private view on the Friday 23rd of November 2012 from 6pm till 10pm with sound bath performance by Lani Rocillo.
