Live Collision has partnered with Berlin Opticians Gallery to launch our 2019 festival and co-present this once off event ‘No feeling is final’ by artist Lee Welch
We discover that we do not know our role; we look for a mirror; we want to remove our make-up and take off what is false and real. But somewhere a piece of disguise that we forgot still sticks to us. A trace of exaggeration remains in our eyebrows; we do not notice that the corners of our mouth are bent. And so we walk around, a mockery and a mere half: neither having achieved being nor actors. – RAINER MARIA RILKE
‘No feeling is final’ is an interdisciplinary experiment inclusive of two new paintings by Lee Welch created for LCIF2019, and existing artworks by Liliane Puthod.
“I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn’t repeat a success. Very often you’re going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you’re trapped. I’ll be honest, it’s very difficult to explain. It’s virtually impossible.”
— Lee Welch
