tender means the tattoos settle

Parastu Gharabaghi & Stella Sieber w/ wall concepts by Liza & Emmi Wunderlich – curated by Becket MWN and Alison Yip

Info: Tender means the tattoos settle began with wall motifs, proposed by Emmi and Liza Wunderlich, the daughters of one of the two people who run mauer. Emmi and Liza live above and next to the exhibition space, and were invited to imagine it as an extension of their bedrooms through pattern and design and by selecting a few items to place in the gallery. Maybe this invitation mixes together the spaces of home and gallery, or perhaps it tries all too seriously to find their precise distinction: like Duchamp’s examples of the infrathin, defining the exact moment that one thing becomes another tends to result in a state of limbo. – Excerpt from the exhibition text by Becket MWN
