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