Economies of Touch
Chicago Arts District Special Exhibitions Gallery
Chicago, IL
Economies of Touch is a site specific performance installation combining the
performance of massage and video via surveillance cameras attached to the
massage therapist's body. Drawing attention not only to the spiritual and meditative
qualities of giving massage, but also to the formal beauty seen as one views
the techniques of touching another persons skin, hair, limbs, body with the
intention to heal Economies of Touch asks participants to relax and viewers to meditate on their own complicity in a complex global economy that blurs the line between touch
for sale and touch for healing.
Exhibition is free and open to the public. For those wishing to participate in the installation, massages may be purchased here.
