Touch Me: A Flat File Exhibition

Sept. 20, 2024 - Jan. 25, 2025

Main Galleries

Typically, the last thing a museum wants you to do is touch the artwork. But for the Tarble’s 2nd Biennial flat file exhibition, visitors will be allowed and even encouraged to page through portfolios installed in the galleries. Each flat file drawer will contain artworks made by members of the Tarble community and organized into a portfolio collection of up to ten works. This intimate and tactile viewing experience allows an unprecedented look at the variety of work being produced by artists working today while rewarding practices of slow looking and multiple visits to the exhibition space.
