Especially in the western world, touch is used very limited within social interactions.\u2028\nWe all need closeness and gentle touches from loved ones around us: friends\/family and partners.\u2028\nIt is generally already very difficult to be close and platonic, but how do we deal with touch in times of Covid 19 and the pandemic. \nWe have limited physical touch with others, prompting the question what does it do to the individual?\u2028\nThe art world has one rule about touch without exception, \u201eDO NOT TOUCH THE ARTWORK.\u201c This is a historic, mostly unspoken, rule about the special treatment of artworks.\nThe proposal for an exhibition at for Bienal Sur is based around one 3D-printed sculpture. It is thermodynamic and changes color when \/ if it receives body warmth.\u2028\nDuring this exhibition, people are allowed to touch the sculpture and subsequently interact with it. \nQuestions as to how people may react to it reveal the intention of the objects placement. They are invited to cross existing boundaries.\nThrough social experimentation, the work raises behavior patterns as to whether or not people would be willing to touch the art work and in essence activate the meaning. If the audience decides to participate they will open themselves up to new feelings of touch in a climate that removes our right to touch. \nThe work looks to combine performative, emotional dialogues and conceptual installation techniques to bring people closer.","space":"The exhibition would require a very square room, in almost the same dimensions by length, depth and height.\nPreferable fully white or fully black room. To give it a meditative and sanctuary feel without any distractions. \nIn the middle will be a pedastle on which sits the sculpture.\nEnough space for walking around the pedastle would be needed.\nLights from above, electronically or through windows from the sides, would be preferred.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":3,"names":"Niklas","surname":"Jeroch","email":"niklasjeroch@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"C84JCFWP0","address":"Oppelnerstra\u00dfe 4","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"german","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1990-08-02T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-08-02T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+4917620370089","web":"www.niklasjeroch.de \/ www.instagram.com\/niklasjeroch"}
