written by Anna Harris

08/12/21

Our collaborators Marres House for Contemporary Culture have recently published a beautiful book (and great Christmas gift idea) on their sensory program.

One of the five front covers of the book

Called “Sensing Art, Training the Body”, the collection contains cahiers from various sensory exhibitions between 2017 and 2021, and two essays, including one by Anna reflecting on the Training the Senses lecture series (of which Making Clinical Sense took part several years ago). The book is available from the Marres online and physical shop with five different covers.
