About this event
Chicago-based artist Paul Heyer leads visitors on a touch exploration of the work in his first museum exhibition. In this immersive installation, Heyer creates a multisensory, dream-like realm that combines his ethereal paintings and sculptures with a meditative soundtrack. This interactive public tour emphasizes multisensory engagement and verbal description for people who are blind or have low vision.

- Long In this vertical painting, the background consists of a rich, saturated blue mottled with areas of both lighter and darker blue. Extending vertically across the background are three thin, dark brown branches. From these branches sprout small leaves of various reds, blues, pinks, and purples. The branches also bear three ghostly, translucent apples distinguished from the background only by white outlines. The most dominant element of the painting are five large white orbs, each with a faintly translucent white glow. Three of the orbs are aligned vertically on the left half of the painting, while the other two are arranged vertically starting at the upper-right hand corner. This leaves the background of the bottom right corner fully exposed.
