The “Invisible Painting” project has been launched

Our meeting with the two partner institutions with whom we will be collaborating on the “Invisible Painting” project over the next two years has come to a close. We hosted representatives from MuseoSpace in the Netherlands and the Franca Bernik Cultural Center in Domžale, Slovenia, here in Toruń.
The three-day meeting had a very packed agenda. First and foremost, we outlined the directions for activities that will be carried out as part of the project through 2028. We developed a shared vision, a work schedule, and methods of communication between our institutions and among the individuals directly responsible for specific activities.
We will soon present the visual identity, the concepts for which were developed during a brainstorming session.
At the beginning, we invited our guests to participate in the discussion “Invisible Painting,” moderated by Artur Byliński and Łukasz Wudarski. At the end, we visited the “Znaki Czasu” Center for Contemporary Art together.
“Invisible Painting” is an innovative project aimed at opening up the world of abstract art to people with diverse needs. As part of the project, a prototype model of sensory translation will be developed, enabling the translation of colors, patterns, and visual forms into sound, scent, texture, and taste. The model will also be enhanced by: a modern methodology for audio description, and a set of tools for creating typhlographics (tactile graphics).
The project will culminate in an expert publication highlighting the project’s outcomes.
The partners supporting individual activities are the bwa City Gallery in Bydgoszcz and the “Znaki Czasu” Center for Contemporary Art in Toruń.
