bitforms gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition that explores the sense of touch as a metaphor of bodily presence and an extension across boundary. Actualizing our understandings of public/private and inside/outside, touch is a gesture system. It manipulates physical, social, psychological and electronic domains, aiding in their transformation.
Presenting a cross-generational selection of voices, Touched: A Space of Relations includes the work of four prominent artists working in Europe and the Americas. With the earliest work dating from 1966, the exhibition brings into focus a visual conversation between Janine Antoni, Lygia Clark, Lynn Hershman Leeson and Annette Messager.
Highlights from the exhibition include three earlier works showing publicly in NYC for the first time: “Self Portrait as Another Person” (1966-68) by Lynn Hershman Leeson, “Mes Petites Effigies” (1989-90) by Annette Messager, and two pieces from the series “Mes Trophees” (1986-88).
bitforms gallery is devoted to emerging and established artists who embrace new media and contemporary art practice.
