How might it linger, stagnate, or come to transfer and transform the bodies and environments around us? What makes an emotion ready for expression in the first place? How does the energy that we inherit, whether during a momentary encounter or as passed down across generations, come to influence our mental and physical wellbeing over time?
Featuring works by artists Joana Escoval (PT), Niina Tervo (FI), Alvaro Ugarte (MX) and Rosario Zorraquin (AR), the artworks on view contemplate the imperceptible entanglements that connect us through an expanded notion of the body. Comprising a series of both physical and ephemeral contributions, each artist attunes to energy as an increasingly vital channel of communication, and lens through which to encounter the world.
The exhibition is organised by SIC gallery’s Niina Tervo, together with Rosa de Graaf (UK/NL), a curator and writer based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
