The Smallest Gallery in Soho is delighted to present artist Jean-François Krebs Septuplet, Guest Curated by Olga Tarasova.
A site-specific contemplation on the notion of Touch as “a limit and a spacing of existence” (Nancy, 1992). Lacking entry and exit, it is an areal reality of the finite deferred matter and the infinite maximal existence. This spatiality is a floating beyond the fainted real; a departure towards a new domain – a radiant splendour: de-composed, dis-placed, dis-embodied, dis-persed. There is no before or after, but only a way of being here - in the there of the here, in the where of nowhere. Within this glorious depth, the Corpus-world stretches towards the pre-signified and pre-conceptualised promise of the intercorporeal we-world.
