As Lithe and Supple as a Gazelle

Artist
Julia Wallisch

Opening  
Thursday, October 10th 2013 from 7 - 10 pm

QUITE OFTEN A GESTURE STARTS A DIALOGUE, INTENTIONALLY OR 
AUTOMATICALLY.
IMAGES AND MOTIFS SWISH AND FLOAT AROUND, THEY COME 
AND GO (hello and good bye), USUALLY SOME OF THEM STAY.
THOSE WHICH STAY ENGAGE IN A DIALOGUE AND ARE PART 
OF THE SETTING; A SETTING 
INTRODUCED BY THE GESTURE.
THE SETTING COULD PROBABLY BE SEEN AS A PARCOURS, 
A PARCOURS OF MOTIFS (A PARCOURS WE OFTEN WISH TO MASTER 
AS LITHE AND SUPPLE AS A GAZELLE) OR AS A NARRATION
AND THOSE IMAGES ARE COMPANIONS, ON THIS JOURNEY.
WE ARE TOURISTS CATCHING MOTIFS, SOMETIMES KEEPING ONLY 
FRAGMENTS LIKE SOUVENIRS.
THE TOOLS OF IMPRESSIONS.
TIME PASSES AND IMAGES START TO FADE, WE TRY 
TO REECHO THEM THROUGH SUBSTITUTION. 
LIKE BUTTER FOR OIL, HONEY FOR SUGAR, 
APPLESAUCE FOR BUTTER OR A PIECE OF CARDBOARD FOR WOOD 
TO FIX THE ACRYLIC GLASS.

Julia Wallisch (*1987) lives and works in Vienna. This is her first solo exhibition in Copenhagen.
