Welcome to The Ballery

In Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death—yet, with courage and conviction, the people in these portraits choose the truth, even if they must keep it obscure in the public eye.

Following a successful run at the Espacio Gallery in east London, UK-based arts collective Human IEU is bringing its latest group show, FLUID, to The Ballery in Berlin. 

The show brings together seven artists working in diverse media. The work they’ve created in response to the theme challenges, provokes and dynamically engages the viewer in a collection that incorporates drawing, painting, video, sculpture, photography and performance. 

Each artist’s take on the FLUID theme is unique - to some it conjures work exploring sexuality and desire, to others it suggests a process and a medium in which to work. Remembering that the human body is 60% water, we’re asking the viewer to think about the importance of fluid to the human experience. 

Artists:      

Jonathan Armour, Brian Dennis, Brother Kwan, Graeme Messer, Georg Meyer-Wiel, Joao Trindade, Francisco Gomez De Villaboa.
