Your Mouth Comes Second is the first solo institutional exhibition which brings together a selection of recent works reflecting the artist’s central concerns: the depiction and processing of raw materials, the exploration of tenderness and vulnerability, companionship, and the integration of ancient and urban spiritualism. Inspired by these counterhegemonic sources of knowledge, the exhibition explores what comes before, with, and after language, emphasizing an empirical vocabulary and the sensory experience of painting.
Stefanie Heinze’s first monograph with the same title presents her paintings, drawings, and collages in dialogue with a rich selection of writings: poems by Fid. Fischer and Sophie Robinson, essays by Mason Leaver-Yap and Miciah Hussey, and a conversation between Mason Leaver-Yap and the artist.
