The project will bring together a prestigious international panel of 15 experts from the art world (principally curators) who will be assisted by specialists dealing with each of the specific senses, by human factors experts, ergotherapists, psychomotriciens, sociologists and other professionals dealing with blindness.
THE COMMITTEE WILL:
- Guarantee the quality of the art exposed and engage a dialog around the subject matter.
- Draw prestige and attention to the project in art circles and in the media.
- Launch the call for entries and define the criteria for the selection of participating artists.
- Review and deliberate on the choice of works / artists.
- Participate in discussions on the design of the exhibition itself so as to maximize the effects of this unique experience for visitors.
The committee will attribute a prize to one or more projects of exceptional merit as well as a research prize to a group of students having exhibited ground breaking innovation and outstanding artistic expression through the senses.
The committee members for 2013 will be announced in the coming months.
