Exhibition: BODY HEAT

The interplay between the corporeal and the climatic, between motion and emotion, defines our experience of body heat. Anger, love, desire, fear, passion, stress and shame compose the symphony of our thermal existence, giving rise to a bodily response – in our blood, our skin, our hearts or our tears. The BODY HEAT exhibition showcases works by 12 visionary artists and designers, exploring the myriad ways our temperatures rise, regulate and react to the dynamics of a shifting environment. In a world that privileges reason and rationality, our bodies are sensuous and intuitive. We respond to beats, vibrations and other bodies: we sweat, we dance, we cry, we laugh.

"Can you feel it?/ Touching you/ Don’t you feel it?" asks Quincy Jones on his 1974 track Body Heat: a musical manifestation of human connection and passion. In moments of love, motion, desire and intense emotion, what ignites your body’s warmth?…
