Saturday 30th of May

Artist talk: Ane Graff

Please join us for an artist talk with Ane Graff and curator Seolhui Lee on the occasion of the upcoming exhibtion A Reality Made of Breach, Saturday 30th of May at 11.30 at Formue. The exhibition opens 28th of May at OSL Contemporary.

The conversation will expand on Graff’s new immersive installation, a saturated environment in which the body appears as a porous, reactive system shaped by accumulated exposure. Graff will discuss how contact — chemical, historical, and emotional — reconfigures living tissue over time, and how inflammation operates not only as biological process but as structural condition.
The exhibition proposes breach not as rupture, but as the premise through which contemporary life unfolds. The installation will be accompanied by a monologue performed by Samantha Lawson, and an original sound composition by May-Oisín Qviller.

Welcome! Remember to secure your place by registering to the event.
