BODY HEAT

BODY HEAT

Anger, love, desire, fear, passion, stress and shame compose the symphony of our thermal existence, giving rise to a bodily response – in our blood, our skin, our hearts or our tears. The BODY HEAT exhibition showcases works by 12 visionary artists and designers, exploring the myriad ways our temperatures rise, regulate and react to the dynamics of a shifting environment and will be on show from 2 September until 28 Ocotber 2024. In a world that privileges reason and rationality, our bodies are sensuous and intuitive. We respond to beats, vibrations and other bodies: we sweat, we dance, we cry, we laugh.

Through photography, sculpture, installations, and multimedia works, the artists and designers examine the visceral and emotional aspects of body heat: they delve into physiological responses, the invisible forces that drive us, and the external expressions of our inner warmth. The exhibition presents body heat as more than just a biological phenomenon, but a powerful metaphor for connection, emotion, and identity.
