Working with a material, whatever it may be, is a melee where sensory perceptions are the gears of the process of creation. The mind creates, the body too.
Artist list
Maria Bang Espersen, Bande De, Julien Dutertre, Tatjana Giorgadse, Nils Hint, Caroline Hofman, Katja Koditz, Zizi Lazer, Réka Lörincz, Ophélie Mac, Thibault Madeline, Romina Remmo
Sense, feel, give way to the senses. Sensuality, literally and figuratively. In any creation, it is a matter of intimacy with the material - dialogue, collaboration, fight; of intimacy with ourselves - our questions, our reflections, our own image. Creating is a work that we do on ourselves. We are denuded , in a certain way, because it is a part of ourselves that we reveal.
From a more general point of view, the intimate is what belongs to everyone and yet escapes everyone. The intimate is that secret that no one can break but that we sometimes like to unveil. The very essence, of individuality. For Olga Mathey and Nelly Van Oost, both members of BeCraft and curators of the exhibition, the intimate is not an unknown subject, on the contrary, it is the anchor of their work.
For Next to the Skin, Olga and Nelly invite 12 artists to join them in order to consider the intimate in form of installations.
