Special guided tour for the visually-impaired at City Gallery Wellington
Janet Cardiff’s aural masterpiece The Forty-Part Motet has been astonishing visitors to City Gallery Wellington with its simple premise and stunning delivery – forty separately-recorded voices played back through forty speakers.
It is art to be appreciated by the ears rather than the eyes, and City Gallery is offering the visually impaired a special opportunity to learn more about the work and experience it fully.
On Wednesday April 21 at 2.30pm, City Gallery Senior Curator Heather Galbraith will lead a special introduction and guided tour developed specifically for the visually impaired.
The Forty-Part Motet is an
immersive sculpturally-conceived sound piece, using
recordings of the Salisbury Cathedral choir singing Spem in
Alium Nunquam Habui (1573) by Thomas Tallis, one of
England’s most influential Renaissance
composers.
Curator’s tour for the Visually
Impaired
Wednesday 21 April, 2pm. Free entry.
Adam Auditorium, City Gallery Wellington
