Francis Alÿs: Francis Alÿs Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich, Switzerland
Opening Saturday June 13
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to present the fifth solo exhibition by renowned artist Francis Alÿs (*1959 in Antwerp, Belgium). The exhibition features a series of animations expanding Alÿs’s interest in play, first presented at the Barbican Centre. Focusing on hand games, the works fragment the body, isolating the hand to create an intimate, tactile experience. Composed of hundreds of drawings, the soft black-and-white animations reveal subtle gestures and rhythms, and are projected in darkened spaces alongside the original drawings.
