to hug the almost near
to bear the never touch
to tongue the long lost word to scan the intimate orders to feel the heavens below
to talk a million miles ahead to see your melted face
to hold the empty room
to mask the gulf
limbs will be to say
not to say
to say

Melike Kara, Flying Dinner, May 23 through August 1, 2015, by appointment, info@openforum.info
Open Forum presents Flying Dinner, an exhibition of new paintings by Cologne based Melike Kara (b. 1985 in Bensberg, DE). Kara’s paintings explore the fundamental characteristics of human behavior, depicting social constellations and both apparent and unapparent levels of communication. Kara visualizes the metaphysical dynamics of communication within groups through both gestures and facial expressions. The painterly embodiment of these interactions seem familiar due to the simple fact that they reflect our most routine yet complex social relationships Flying Dinner is Kara’s first solo exhibition in Berlin.
