Extracts From A Blind Astronomer

Spier Wine Farm’s newest exhibition, “Extracts from the Blind Astronomer,” showcases the innovative work of Berco Wilsenach.

Building on his acclaimed Project for the Blind Astronomer, this engaging and thought-provoking exhibition delves into the realms of stars, space, and sensory perception in a unique way.

A standout feature is Wilsenach’s “Star Atlas,” a celestial map entirely rendered in Braille, which redefines how we engage with knowledge. The interactive installation, “Stone Universe,” invites visitors—particularly children—to piece together the cosmos, encouraging a hands-on exploration of the stars. This exhibition emphasises not only what we see but also what we can feel.

The exhibition will be open from October 10, 2024, to January 12, 2025, in the historic Old Wine Cellar at Spier Wine Farm. Admission is free.
