Look carefully at these photos, because when you go to see Épat, a new exhibition by Willem Boshoff, opening at Michael Stevenson Contemporary tonight (where and when here), you won't be able to see them very well.
That's because the works are part of Boshoff's Blind Alphabet. Started in 1991, this epic work is a series of sculptures making up a dictionary of words relating to form and structure. Each sculpture is in a closed mesh box and the word's definition is written in Braille on the lid. Only blind people are allowed to open the boxes, handle the sculptures and read the text.
D - DauciformA, B and C of the alphabet were completed in 1994, and this exhibition will show 30 new sculptures - 15 each for the letters D and E, amongst other work.
D - Dacryoid
See you there.
