These neon signs are not your everyday signs that invite you in to an open shop or direct you to the nearest exit. Rather, visual artist Tim Etchells uses more complex text in the form of neon lettering to create a public deconstruction of language. Each simple, glowing phrase invites the viewer into a fragmented narrative and, “The viewer becomes implicated in a situation that’s never fully revealed.”

The Prado Museum in Madrid launches an exhibition in which blind people can enjoy classical paintings by touching their texture and relief. We have never been given a chance to touch a painting in a museum, so this is definitely a unique experience – to be able to engage with replica pieces, including the Mona Lisa, through touch. The exhibition at Prado displays tactile versions of paintings by artists like Da Vinci and Goya. The paintings enable blind people to get a clearer vision of the artworks. The reliefs were created using a special technique called “Didu” that adds volume and texture to 2D art. The pioneering project will be in Madrid until the end of June.
