“While No Point in Making Myself Comfortable encompasses approaches which all relate to “the body”, as curators, we were inspired by artist Gordon Hall’s rejection of the term ‘the body’ as a universal signifier in favour of more specific explorations of embodiment. Claude Cahun’s use of her own body as a gender-bending medium in the first half of the XXth century was a spiritual touchstone in juxtaposing these artists, whose varied approaches to figuration via abstract gestures tease the limits of the term “queer abstraction”. Rather than claim to reflect a universal experience of embodiment, the works in this exhibition reflect on idiosyncratic themes – from childhood to desert scarcity – via approaches as varied as biomorphism, self-portraiture, diagrammatic flatness, cartoon figuration, and intuitive dreamscape.”

When I Became You
27 November, 6-8 PM Paris
Emanuela Campoli is pleased to announce When I Became You, Victoria Roth’s first exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition brings together a group of recent works that engage with ideas of queer abstraction and desire as embedded in shifting biomorphic shapes that tickle, swell, twist and pierce. Roth’s paintings delineate affective spaces where imagery suggestive of the body is caught in the midst of becoming, implying the potential for metamorphosis.
