We’re happy to announce Mia Dudek’s solo exhibition "Inside Out" is on view at Galeria Foco from 23.03 to 6.05.2023.
"Within Inside Out there is inhalation and exhalation; there is the full cycle of breath from the first to the last. There is also an invisible wave which expands and contracts over the body of each artwork. This wave is unpredictable. Since Dudek works directly with tension, she allows for release, as a wave crashes on the shore of a beach or into this exhibition space as a generalised sense of acceptance. The title of the exhibition calls to mind precedents set by psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and mysticism which hold that interior psychosomatic work has exterior effects. Furthermore, when the inner is turned outwards, transformation is possible through self exposure. This is a practice of honesty in action. Inside Out works against a purist’s exercise in conceptualism by weaving instead of forcing geometries of thought. It accesses the viewer as if to offer a massage or hold up their body in the ocean. In a sense, it is also kind. This movement towards the other on behalf of the artist is arguably a very personal reach for harmony. All of this is symphonic.” - excerpt from press release.
