18.6 — 25.8 2021
Opening: 18 June, 6 pm
Beth Collar, Jesse Darling
A plus A Gallery, Venice
A plus A Gallery presents Doppel an Exhibition by Beth Collar and Jesse Darling. The two UK artists who are currently living in Berlin are presenting in
Venice a series of new drawings confronting the finite biological reality and the
fragility of the human body. At the same time, as ever, questions
arise about relationship and language.
Sexuality and Mortality, Sensitivity and Pain, Religion, Myth and Mystery and
their intrinsic incommunicability appear in the realm of the current data and
image economy as something we have to undergo collectively, but also to encounter with your own body and your own mind.
Both artists committed themselves in the last months to a collaborative process
in order to produce new work for their audiences.

sound and performance. They live and work in Berlin. Jesse Darling has received commissions from MoMA Warsaw, The Serpentine Gallery and Volksbühne
