Even before we bear names, even before we claim morality or assert dignity for ourselves, flesh is the material from which we are made. lt pulses and decays, desires and gives birth; it is fresh and spoiled at unceasing breath. Flesh is existence in its most vulnerable, most nonnegotiable form - and it demands that we look.
Between slaughterhouse and birthing room, between eroticism and disgust, between sacrificial offering and mere consumption, a field of tension unfolds that does not release us, that does not let go of us, that pulls us straight into consciousness and burns there. Flesh is commodity and body, drive and sacrament; it is violence itself: that which suffers it, that which falls silent beneath it, that which lives on after it.
The invited artists are called upon not to settle for symbols, not to remain behind the safe distance of metaphor. They may reach into it -into the rawness of the material, into its strange sovereignty, into the radical ambivalence between object and organism, between that which can be touched and that which touches us.
