AMA House PRESENTS THE EYES OF THE SKIN Curated by Vicky Tsirou

Touch sees what the eye can only guess. Taking its cue from Juhani
Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin turns the gaze into a caress and the
senses into a way of reading the world. Ruthi Helbitz Cohen, Maro
Michalakakos and Shekine Naidi shape the female body, its wounds and
its metamorphoses through fairy tale, myth and matter: paper, coffee
and ink, shaved velvet, felted wool, polished marble. Goddesses and
femmes fatales, armoured hybrid creatures and votive flowers laid on a
poisoned lake compose a history told from the female side, where
vulnerability and power trade places. Across the rooms, landings and
floors of an interwar house, the body, the smallest architecture we
inhabit, becomes the compass for every encounter.
