April Frankenstein: WHAT IF WE FALL IN LOVE
February 13th, 2015
Show statement:
WHAT IF WE FALL IN LOVE is about shedding false ideas of intimate relationships, sharing secret spaces and having a conversation about romantic notions and our relationship to sexuality. The human body and everyday necessities are explored as a way to uncover how we relate to our space, ourselves and to others. The exhibition consists of drawings, photos, journal entries, collages and installations to follow the month long journey of exploration and experimentation performed by the artist. Participation of other people is enormously important and evident throughout the works. Collaborative efforts are inevitably necessary.
