Affinity is a show about intimacy in all its forms and incarnations involving relationships with the self, the other, places or objects, the physical and the emotional.
Artists have called into question the notion of closeness through a wide range of practices and mediums.
Loneliness, sexuality, the home, touch and emotional vulnerability are all themes explored by the artists involved. The works beg the question – what is the consequence of bringing such a private concept into a public space?
By exposing the concept of intimacy, Affinity invites the audience to enter a private space collectively, sharing their experience of the works together, as companions, provoking the opportunity to touch, feel and interact with the works and each other on a level rarely experienced in the gallery space.
