Exhibition: The Fountain Show
The Fountain Show considers the fountain as an artistic genre in its own right. A fountain is exuberant: it can provoke stimulation, joy, and eroticism. As a structure that shapes and makes audible the flow of liquid matter – and can mask the sound of a private conversation – the fountain also bears a close relationship to language and speech.
The artists of this exhibition approach the rich subject matter of the fountain according to their individual artistic affinities, formulating ideas about community, the human body and art itself. The fountain becomes a space to transform dreams and desires into a dripping, spattering, sparkling form.
Participating artists: David Bernstein, Aline Bouvy, Anita Esfandiari, Kasia Fudakowski, Lou Masduraud, Sophie Nys, Chloé Op de Beeck, Virginia Overton, Paula Siebra, Jay Tan and Zoe Williams.
