Wet Resistance is a group exhibition that I am part of at Dortmunder Kunstverein, which is open 14 August- 30 October 2022.
The exhibition is curated by José Montealegre (Künstler) and Rebekka Seubert (artistic director Dortmunder Kunstverein), with work by Hanna-Maria Hammari, Julian Irlinger, James Krone, Tetsumi Kudo, Darling Lopez-Salinas, José Montealegre, Berenice Olmedo, Anna Solal, Zoe Williams
"The exhibition Wet Resistance begins its narration with a dystopia: in a dried-out world dominated by moisture-repelling technology and artificial intelligence, wet resistance emerges in defence of natural, humid, human qualities, and celebrates moisture as exchange, humour and life.
A large-scale installation of tiles and metal plants by José Montealegre becomes a landscape in which the works of eight international artists are embedded. Wet Resistance contrasts the wet, mossy, growing, overgrown and irrational with the dry, clean, rational, technical and broken. The human body, with its high water content, is conceived as an organism entangled with the world in which it lives and which it constantly co-creates"
I also created a performance for the opening evening titled Liquid Currency, a performative installation and bar by myself with HYDRA (Anna Gloria Flores), Katie Shannon and Susu Laroche.
