ABOUT THE NEW EXHIBITION
Wonders of the Mind brings together three artists, Chris Radtke, Juan Betancurth and Heta Kuchka, who intertwine the physical and psychological realms of the human body through sculpture, installation and video. The works signify the relationship between the consciousness of pleasure, suffering, inhibitions and the twilight of an existence, often filled with solitude along with the frailty of the human form.
