𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘺-𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘺: 𝘚𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘭
Opening in June (TBA)
The English expression “touchy-feely” refers to individuals considered to be excessively demonstrative in their physical expressions of intimacy, reflecting a discomfort with touch and proximity in modern society. How people respond to or regulate physical touch is shaped by cultural upbringing and social norms, deeply entangled with taboos and repressions associated with pleasure, relief, shame, or unease. 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘺-𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘺: 𝘚𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘭 brings together artistic practices, performances, and workshops that interrogate the socio-cultural attitudes towards physical contact.
Alternative Space LOOP
Funded by Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture
*𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘺-𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘺 is a project initiated at West Den Haag, curated by Baruch Gottlieb and Ji Yoon Yang.
