At MOCAK, we have produced catalogues in the Braille alphabet, with audio discs included, before, to accompany the exhibitions Sport in Art, Economics in Art, and the exhibition of the MOCAK Collection. This time, the Museum has prepared a publication that, apart from audiodescription, also contains typhlograpics. The key to the selection of the works to be presented in this form (i.a., those by Hubert Czerepok, Danny’ Devos and Anders Serano) was our aiming to include a wide spectrum of techniques employed by contemporary art. The works have been presented so as to activise different senses during the cognitive process.

On the CD discs, side by side with audiodescriptions of the works shown using typhlographics there are sound versions of two texts from the blackprint catalogue of the exhibition: the curator essay by Maria Anna Potocka and a dissertation by the psychiatrist Bogusław Habrat on the relationship between art and criminality.

The catalogue has been prepared in collaboration with the Culture without Barriers Foundation.
