I am this body/ this rupture came about as a result of our collective’s Intimate Collaboration series.
Through this series, ASTRO invites artists to work, expand, and explore a specific theme related to their practice through close collaboration with us.

I am this body/this rapture*
Using Maddi Fuente Ubani’s work as a starting point, we began exploring:
What is memory if not a form of survival?
We wanted to understand the relationship between memory and identity and how these are preserved and expressed through physical and emotional means.

Project Description
Care is a tangible thing.
Care is everything that is done,
rather than everything that we do,
to maintain, continue and repair the world;
so we can all live in it as well as possible.

OBJECTS OF CARE
Collapsing the distinction
between human and non-human,
practice and experience, self and nature, care is the core of our world.
Both material and immaterial.
The collected artists’ work examines the theme of how care relates to the tangible, exploring the physical as a means to demonstrate the conceptual.
In this group show, even the purely visual evokes a sense of contact.
The artworks are in search
of how the haptic, sensory, embodied knowledge of caring and being cared for, is demonstrated within our lives
through experiences of touch; being “touched by” or “getting in touch” with something human or inhuman.

Tourist/ in your own home
Project Description
A group show contextualised and led by the ASTRO collective.
The exhibition invites both artist and viewer alike to revisit the idea of home through the eyes of the tourist.
With what constitutes home, for the individual, becoming more and more complex; the show was attempting to discover the common elements between touring mobilities and home practices.
