Though ultimately distanced and distinct, the discrete contexts of each artist’s critical and transformative practices are synchronized through anatomical symptoms of de-/construction, transgression, affection, and resurrection. Pairing artists that were previously anonymous or unknown to one another, the exhibition builds a primordial place between bodies and horizons (between flesh and the time it takes to reach-out and touch the end of a world...). An absence, an other, forms the possibility for these artists to come into contact, echoing or repeating the patterns of intimacy and estrangement that recur in each of their individual bodies of work. Each artist works with the place of the other, of being the other. Each artist works with the limits and stakes of a body. And each artwork stakes these limits, recording the movements of a body coming into contact. Gestural marks, bodily events, become embodied accounts. ….
