Exuberance is beauty.
—William Blake

"The Sensation of Biting Into a Peach And Letting The Juice Run Down Your Chin" takes its title from a book by Timothy Morton and is inspired by Georges Bataille’s general economy and the excess of energy that translates into the effervescence of life. We envisioned an interpretation of works that could resonate against each other while dealing intensely with formal and historical challenges, either through witty and direct suggestions or by establishing complex universes of language and thought. Therefore, we—artists and the curatorial team—aspire to divest ourselves of using and abusing a concept to arouse aesthetic ways of understanding what can be called the human condition.

Curated by ENTKUNSTUNG and Herwig Scherabon, and supported by DOCK11, the show is about energy, and therefore, about pleasure, taboos and excess.

We need the tonic of wildness.
—Henry D. Thoreau
