Zusammenfassung:New Skin presents a selection of artworks from the Tony and Elham Salamé collection. Encompassing more than 2000 pieces by various artists, the collection has grown at vertiginous speed throughout the last decade, establishing the Aïshti Foundation as one of the most energetic institutions in the Middle East and beyond. Borrowing its title from a sculpture by British artist Alice Channer, the exhibition brings together works that expand and transform the language of abstraction, imagining new relationships between surfaces, textures and forms. Conceived in dialogue with David Adjaye’s architectural design for the Aïshti Foundation’s new building, the exhibition focuses on recent experiments in painting and sculpture while establishing a speculative lineage that stretches from the sensuous surfaces of works by Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Manzoni to the digitally rendered compositions of many contemporary artists.
