ATTENTION
Aurélien Potier

“Fasting makes sense of the hunger. The constant internal grasping. The only sensible answer to this is to always withdraw the thing after which I grasp. To subvert. To thwart. To deny. It closes the loop. If I am hungry and I eat and I remain hungry, hunger becomes rage. But to deny fulfilment makes sense of the hunger – I don’t eat, so I am hungry.”
― Anne de Marcken, It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over

Attention is Aurélien Potier’s first solo show with the gallery, following his participation in the group show My Edges are Sharpening (2023) alongside Iris Touliatou and Jenine Marsh and his solo presentation at Art Basel Paris in 2023.

The artist’s formal and material vocabulary, which includes engraving, writing, language, cables and metal spikes, is used in this exhibition to question the modalities of emancipation on the terrain of desire.
