Ms. Kleinpeter and Ms. Lopez have no formal training in therapy, but ultimately that is what this piece is about. Exploring that territory in a gallery context, amidst a world of sculptures, secretaries, and softers, has, it seems, only made that potential of that space more potent. Art holds the promise of transporting the self, taking us somewhere beyond the set paths of our lives and minds. Too often, I’ve heard it voiced, the art of our time falls short of this. Perhaps something in our information, image-saturated culture has conditioned within us greater barriers to accessing feeling through the passive experience of art-looking. Perhaps it’s something like INNER COURSE, something as basic as talking, sharing, touching, confessing, playing — something as simple as a human connection — that might re-elicit that experience of awe.

Panties For Diamonds — A Psychodramatic Audition For Love In The Age Of Abondonment continues this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 1-6pm. To book an appointment, send an email to innercourse@honey-space.com
