Neither

Newchild, Antwerp
13 August - 1 October 2022

Ambivalent, sensitive and slow, the works in neither carry messages disseminated through barriers: skin, windows, visual representations of internal narratives and invented realities. The exhibition brings together a variety of mediums by Robert Gober, Lukas Luzius Leichtle, Andrew Sendor, and Grace Woodcock that explore the representation of something happening behind the scenes or under the skin. Inviting the viewer to peek in, parsing greater meaning and interpreting reality with the visual cues presented, sometimes distorting, misconstruing, and fetishizing the meaning along the way. What is left is the art itself, the threshold that unites artist and viewer, the conduit that eternally demarcates the boundaries between private and public, internal and external.
