FLESH IS THE REASON

Lubov New York · Lower East Side / East Village
Exhibition on view: Sep 6, 2025 - Oct 5, 2025

Flesh is the Reason confronts intimacy, desire, and vulnerability through art, drawing on theology, history, and politics. The exhibition reflects on flesh as both corrupted and redemptive, fragile yet sustaining, while artists reinterpret the body as site of power, shame, longing, and resilience. From fragmented forms to sensuous depictions, the works probe our struggles with connection, exposure, and the risks of yearning for closeness in today’s fractured world.
