Opis

More Than Meets the Eye seeks to dismantle traditional understandings of blindness through scrutiny of philosophical speculation, scientific case studies, literary depictions, and museum access programs for the blind. It introduces blind and visually impaired artists whose work has shattered stereotypes and opened up new aesthetic possibilities for everyone.

Recenzje

More than opening up a world of blindness to the sighted, Kleege offers insight on how vision shapes the way we know and live together and how the experience of blindness yields distinctive knowledge and unexpected art that is available to us all ... Along the way, we learn what it means to gain blindness, rather than to lose sight.
