Francis Upritchard in I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha, Nebraska, USA
09 December 2021 —
19 March 2022
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts presents I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality, a group exhibition exploring corporeal hospitality and featuring Aotearoa artist Francis Upritchard. Hospitality is usually considered a philosophical concept with juridical implications, an ethical concern or a social/political practice. This exhibition shifts the focus to consider the stealth work of hospitality on our material and political understanding of bodies.
I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality invites visitors to consider how hospitality has simultaneously circumscribed what we think bodies are, what we imagine they can do, how we feel they relate, whom we believe they can encounter, and ultimately, how they engage with each other and in the world. The exhibition explores these questions in space by weaving together open-ended experiential connections between works in a range of media, from painting, sculpture, textile, installation and performance to lens- and time-based practices.
