About The Blue Description Project (BDP)
The Blue Description Project (BDP) (2024) is an audio description and captioning project—produced by Crip*—Cripistemology and the Arts in collaboration with Voices in the Gallery— that engages Derek Jarman's Blue (1993) via expanded and critical accessibility. As Jarman wrote in Chroma (1994): “If I have overlooked something you hold precious—write it in the margin.” BDP takes up this invitation by creating a new, experimental iteration of Blue on the 30th anniversary of its release and Jarman’s death. The BDP iteration features creative captions and audio description that have been sourced from numerous contributors. It attempts to convey, express, engage, respond, evoke, articulate, replicate, translate, transmogrify, channel, and transcend what Blue is/was/could be. Courtesy of Artist & Sarah Hayden.
About Notes on Blue
Moyra Davey's new 28-minute video is a lyrical film essay that interweaves various biographies-including those of Derek Jarman, poet Anne Sexton, writer Jorge Luis Borges, and the artist herself-to explore blindness, color, and identity.
We encourage to come early to grab refreshments from The Kitchen before entering the museum. No RSVP needed. Entry will be first come first serve.
