"I have lived within a lyrical poem, like anyone possessed."
Pier Paolo Pasolini
"Skin hunger. Sometimes it seemed that my skin ached like an empty belly. The fine hairs below my navel seemed to reach up, wanting to touch something. My mouth would open when I slept and my tongue would push at the air, reaching, reaching. I would wake from dreams of rising like yeast into an embrace that welcomed and satisfied that hunger, an embrace I wanted desperately."
Dorothy Allison, Skin: Talking About Sex, Class & Literature (1994)
The first exhibition at the gallery, "Moon Star Love" (14.11.2009–23.01.2010), outlined less of a program than an atmosphere and a way of working together—confronting our subjectivities and harmonizing like two instruments that would now play together. The exhibition “explicite lyrique [explicit lyrical]” marks 15 years of Marcelle Alix by celebrating the inclusion of a third subjectivity: Florence Bonnefous and the program of Air de Paris. Thus, we continue to imagine the gallery as a space for sharing and discussing, and the exhibition as an expression of friendship.
