carlier | gebauer is pleased to present One Long Changing Body*, a group exhibition with Jens Fänge, Louis Fratino, Vincent Gicquel, Anton Henning, Tomasz Kowalski, Caroline Mesquita, Apolonia Sokol, and Peter Stauss. 

A latent urgency connects the works of the artists included in One Long Changing Body*, which manifests itself in the distinct manner in which each artist approaches the human form. Seen as a constellation, this group of artists forms a “variation” on the notion of intimacy. A kind of repetition or alteration of a theme, each artist presents his or her own particular permutation of this common, yet increasingly fraught, human condition. A desire for connection; empathy and attraction; a compulsion to memorialize lovers, friends, or family members; the boundaries between the self and the other—these are all subthemes that emerge through the works in the exhibition.
