Latitude 28 Gallery presents: Tactile, a group exhibition that starts from 13 October to 20 November. Bhavna Kakar, Director, Latitude 28 and curator of the show says: “Tactile – a quality deeply linked to the sense of touch, it is a palpable rendition of character in a feeling, a frame of mind, a visceral response; an adjective that makes tangible as metaphor, elusive ideas or the texture of a distant memory. It is more than a physical faculty. In fact, it transcends such corporeality to help assimilate the experience of sensory perception. And to visually evoke tactility can become an interesting exercise, a necessity or even a compulsion.”
As we debate a post-medium condition where boundaries of media and material fall apart to create a space where anything goes, if the artist should say so, a new relevance emerges for materials and media. A free flowing interaction between different media creates a space through the invalidation of their isolated relevance, where re-evaluation and new meaning making occurs. Fixating on tactility, media and material conspire to evoke their own tactile natures as a sentiment, a mood or an emotion that registers in the visual realm.
