Exhibition: Regions /noun/ a body of unfixed boundaries @ CALA Space, Berlin 21 April - 25 May
21 April - 25 May I am presenting Regions /noun/ a body of unfixed boundaries, a new work created for “Reciprocity Muscles” a group exhibition centred around the provocation - how can we use our bodily senses to enter reciprocal relations with the environment?
Regions is a personal, intuitive, responsive piece born from practices and rituals exploring how human bodily fleshes weave, stitch, melt, seep, ooze, leak and otherwise smoosh into the flesh in the world. A reconfigurable and distributed “body” or “region” ruminates the enmessing of human and land flesh. It is created from forms of gestural, tactile note-taking practice and materials caught up in their own material ecology. Water collected from local watery bodies guides flows of ink and leaves traces and residues as it evaporates, clay - which itself bears traces of relationship- is clawed from the earth and dries in the breath of the air - we both leave notes on each other.
I am hosting a meditative morning workshop next Sunday 23 April 11am-1pm titled Leaving notes on each other: extending into city airs, earths, waters. We will explore tactile note-taking practices as a method of extending into the ecology of ourselves, the gallery and the city. Berlin friends - please come and say hello!
