Work exhibited: The Measure of a Man* (2019/21)
Exhibition Text: Nine artists selected via open call brought up topics that uncovered still only a fragment of what prevents us from enjoying our bodies in an individually truthful way. The previous century's sexual revolution, while liberating a few, didn't erase deeply rooted systemic issues. Not only a very few of us were taught to seek pleasure and embrace it in a unique way, many of us question how deserving of feeling it we are in the first place. This high level of lack of self-worth is particularly present in the abuse survivors ––a theme that the exhibition's focus opened up inevitably. Whether dealing with the consequences of another's attack or the almost invisible phenomenon of auto aggression, it all comes down to the fact that no one is experiencing violence for the first time when causing it.
