EVENT DESCRIPTION
M+M Gallery is pleased to present the group show A Touch and Yet Not a Touch, opening on August 15. The exhibition explores, through a poetic lens, the subtle state of intimacy that exists between closeness and distance. It showcases the works of eight artists: Zaam Arif, Billy Coulthurst, Caroline Walker, Lenz Geerk, Lu Yu, Jannika Frange, Katherine Bradford and Sahara Longe.
Love is a form of touch, but also the lingering echo of what has not yet been touched; the quickening of the heart when drawing near, and the tenderness in stepping back. In A Touch and Yet Not a Touch, these works speak to each other like a series of unspoken dialogues—some gazes so sincere they still the breath, others leaving just the right measure of distance. Perhaps love and intimacy are precisely this: creating, between approach and retreat, a space that is both real and poetic, a space in which we may return again and again, to experience and to savor.
