The Presented Touch

“The presented touch” is an interdisciplinary group exhibition that brings together artistic positions from different media - sculpture, painting, textiles, digital art, performance and installation. The unifying element is the theme of the surface: as a physical structure, as a visual phenomenon, as a boundary between inside and outside - as a metaphor for what is visible and what remains hidden. Surfaces fascinate. They stimulate the senses, deceive, seduce. They are both a protection and a barrier. The exhibition focuses on this ambivalence: what we see on the surface and what is hidden underneath. The idea of touch can be just as intense as the real experience - it evokes memories, feelings and projections. This tension between materiality and imagination is at the heart of the exhibition. Surfaces are more than mere appearances - they store information, react to time, light and touch. They can be inviting or repellent. They are boundaries that connect and divide. The participating artists explore how structures affect the body and how perception oscillates between attraction and repulsion. The exhibition makes these interactions tangible - seeing becomes feeling, perception becomes touch. What remains on the surface - and what lies beneath?
