Overview
Intro
In spring/summer, the Kunsthalle Palazzo is showing "Body Language": Thomas Hauri, Sofía Durrieu, Pawel Ferus and Anastasia Müller examine bodies and their relationship to space.
The "Body Language" exhibition brings together four artists who each use the space in their own way. The title is deliberately ambiguous: In common parlance, "body language" refers to non-verbal communication in which gestures, postures and movements are read as messages to a counterpart. In the exhibition context, the term can be extended: objects also appear as bodies. They react to their surroundings and develop their own presence in the space. Likewise, the architectural interior itself becomes a body that absorbs works and visitors and places them in relation to one another. The artists invited to take part in the exhibition deal with the body and its relationship to space in their works. With his paintings on paper, Thomas Hauri creates corporeal spaces whose inner life is lined like a skin. Sofía Durrieu's work deals with artificial projections on the human body and the resistance that opposes them. In his sculptural work, Pawel Ferus works with large-format body fragments such as heads or feet, which relate to the architectural body and the bodies of the visitors and raise questions of scale. Anastasia Müller devotes herself to the body as a scientific object by incorporating medical aspects and new technological means into her research-based approach. The exhibition aims to make visitors aware of their own bodies - in movement in space and in interaction and communication with the works of art.
