‘The problem with
having a body / is
that it always needs
to be somewhere’
@ The approach
—
“... exploring
the human scale,
performativity &
spatiality through
movement and
physical labour.”
Curated by:
Nora Heidorn.
The exhibition:
Takes its title
from an artwork
by emerging artist
Jeff Ko – a phrase
which stuck with
Heidorn, addressing
such a basic truth
about the human
condition – that we
each live in & through
a body and there's
presently no other
mode of existing in
the world.
The works:
Employ latex, video,
plaster, sculpted
canvas, photographic
processes, mirror,
textiles and wax.
“The body in space –
visible, and taking
up space – to me is
the primary political
instance. Even before
language A body has
needs: for resources,
care & shelter. And
rights. All of this
should exist even pre-
language, and is to
some extent asked
of others through
the presence itself
of the body in space.”
