Sensual Life 01.22. - 02.26.2010

  Nobody would argue that erotic touches are an effective way to fight boredom and routine in the relationships. Many, however, would argue, what is the definition of erotical. Different times, different folks and different religions offer their own definitions. An artist can discover erotical nature in a human, sometimes in a symbol, and sometimes even in a musical instrument. But how about an everyday object, if it points and lets understand better and feel better the things of erotic nature?
  From January 23 until February 26 Birkenfelds Art Gallery presents the Sensual life exhibition. Forty authors and three centuries, 19th, 20th and 21st, invite the visitors to explore the visual artworks and agree or disagree with Vilhelm Shmidt* (1953) who stated that future belongs to erotics, because sex is gender-based, while erotics unites body and soul.
