Exhibitions “EROS” on View Through October 7, 2023, at P21 From August 26 to October 7, P21 will present EROS, an exhibition featuring seven artists: Haneyl Choi, Monica Kim Garza, Birke Gorm, Suyeon Kim, Eunsil Lee, Wu Jiaru, and Xiyadie. The exhibition challenges the perception of Eros as a “pleasure machine” in today’s consumer-driven society and seeks to reclaim its original role. Through their works, the seven artists in the exhibition recall the true meaning of Eros, which embraces the other transcending mere pleasure-seeking.

Articles [Critique] Practices for Opening a Tangled Future from Memories and Mourning #1. The biomes of Papua New Guinea are relatively isolated from external predators and climate change, and therefore free from the usual pressures of survival.
