To The Touch, a charismatic new exhibition from curator Deborah Hesse at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art, invites us not just to see, not just to touch, but also to hear and even smell the art.
The one thing you can’t do, at least not with permission, is taste it—though you may consider this photo essay, limited only to partial and detail images, a taste of what awaits.
