Tactual Explorations is a not-for-profit public event which includes a ‘tactile exhibition’ based on a selected museum object – the bust of Sophocles held at the British Museum – which is interpreted by 10 artists through physical and virtual tactile artworks. There will be opportunities to engage with the work through artist talks, workshops and lectures, which are free and open to all. Visitors will be able to consider the concept of tactile exhibitions and be free to explore the tangible information behind a visual exhibit. Visitors are welcome to join the Artist Talks / Q&A Session on 30 September 2006 from 1pm.
