We summon the body to speak. Our ancestral gestures communicate a story of overcoming and resilience in face of the insistence of control. The exhibition The Deviant by Regina Parra promotes the reclaiming of the body and the narratives that surround it. I speak here of a body that is constructed, not biologically given. For many women, […]

Combining two organic materials, weathered iron and tanned leather, Fabian von Spreckelsen presents a collection of Leather Cabinets, each symbolising an important stage in his existence. The ritual lies in the simple gesture of lifting the leather to reveal the interior of the furniture-sculpture. “In life, we reach different stages; periods punctuated by experiences and discoveries. […]

Four Corners, the title of Liam Everett’s viewing room, refers to the four directions—North / South / East / West or four points on a stage and the “missing” painting, as there are only three visible in the exhibition.

Joe Zorrilla, Blue Hooks (ground floor) In Joe Zorrilla’s work the main consideration is the existence, and at times negation, of the body – the very fleshly and organic condition that wonders and consumes the viewer. While the artist maintains an aphoristic relationship to the formation of works, it resists rational or didactic pretenses.  

Nathalie Du Pasquier, ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER (second floor) Known as one of the founding members of Memphis, the celebrated 1980s Italian postmodern design group, Du Pasquier first worked as a designer of textiles, furniture and objects. Since 1986, she has subsequently been dedicating herself to painting. Du Pasquier’s attitude towards painting is perhaps […]

His work, recognized throughout the world, is entirely devoted to the self-portrait, with a militant commitment to a better place for man in nature.
