"Sounding Architecture" collaboration to be unveiled at the Serpentine 
Gallery

EXTRACT: THERE HAVE been several exhibitions, of sculpture particularly, 
aimed at a blind audience. I remember one at the Tate that included a 
lifesize, relatively naturalistic bronze of a dog by Elisabeth Frink.

Now a "sound work" will be unveiled at the Serpentine Gallery on Saturday as 
the centrepiece of a project called Sounding Architecture, a collaboration 
with 18 visually impaired and sighted participants by artists Kaffe 
Matthews, who works in sound, and Lynn Cox, which investigated how those 
denied full visual perceptions experience architectural space and 
environment. The results will also form the basis of a one-day seminar, 
significantly entitled Sensual Clues, in the autumn; the present event is 
more of a working document and is, as far as I know, the first to address 
architecture specifically in terms of visual impairment.
