Descripción de la Exposición
carlier | gebauer, Berlin, is pleased to announce the group exhibition, I Opened the Curtain to See What Lays Behind, including works by Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Asta Gröting, Lexia Hachtmann, Pakui Hardware, Laura Lima, Lúcia Koch, Joanna Piotrowska, Guga Szabzon, Tiago Tebet and Ian Waelder. A tableau vivant of enigmas, the group exhibition I Opened the Curtain to See What Lays Behind explores human gestures and their traces, their forms and their meanings. Beyond the gesture itself, where does it lead us? And in what ways do different gestures take shape and meanings and circulate in the spaces between us? They speak of a shared meaning, building a bridge communicating between several entities. And still a gesture can be a sign, a symbol, a form, an invitation, ubiquitous but singular, ephemeral and at the same time bound to the body by which it is produced. Once the hand is removed, the gesture becomes absent, hinting towards a prior intention. The works in the group show propose the idea of art and its making as an absent gesture, a touch that opens but never reveals its meaning entirely. Although seemingly familiar, gestures are nonetheless easily rendered into the absurd, the uncanny, the enigmatic.
