Exhibiting for Multiple Senses

Artists and curators have long moved beyond the primacy of the visual in art exhibitions, venturing into other senses. This book traces this shift, gathering curatorial theory, museum research, disability activism and crip theory to demonstrate resonances between curatorial theory and practice and between disability, neurodivergence and crip art activism. Exhibiting for Multiple Senses shares famous and lesser-known examples of experimental exhibitions as well as artistic practices linked to exhibitions. By mobilizing the senses of touch, smell, taste and hearing, as well as applications of multimodal technologies and insights from neuroscience, these examples explore abilities and possibilities of the sensory apparatus that is the human body.
