The exhibition La pensée corps brings together the work of Alexandra Bircken and Lutz Hülle, both of whom are linked to questions of identity, intimacy, permeability and vulnerability of the human being. What links them is a style with forms that are alternately fractured and assembled, cut and sutured, and a long history of friendship.
This exhibition is not about the relationship between art and fashion, even though it is a natural one. The focus is on the mechanisms, the gestures, the thinking of the contemporary body and our experience of it as human beings. Both sectionalise and fractionalise objects and clothes as adjustable models for new ways of living, feeling and representing.
