▶ BODY LANGUAGE, OPENING 27 SEPTEMBER

Through gestures, posture and facial expression we communicate without words to the world around us.

Body language is universal, as it crosses cultures and languages and does not belong to any conventional code of communication. We tend to express ourselves subconsciously, giving insight into unspoken emotions, thoughts, ideas and truths. Tattoos are an example of a distinct type of illustrative body language. Traditionally used as decoration for spiritual purposes, the body becomes a marked canvas conveying a vast array of meanings to the viewer without a sound.

Opening drinks with the artists will be Wednesday evening September 28th from 6-8pm. In addition, we will be holding a special afternoon performance of 'In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people' by Sylvia Schwenk on Saturday the 15th of October at 1pm.
