As much as Touch is about dialog, last week I got an email from the exhibition space to inform me that the work was vandalized. Someone took the freedom not to just touch the work but to write on it with a black marker, and to insult me with very "juicy" words. It was the last thing I was expecting to happen.
I thought the gallery was a safe place, and this was my main downer, belly pain, a sudden violent mental and emotional pain. But that happily diminished while talking to a lot of my friends, supporting and giving me love and advice. Yesterday I brought two chairs to the group exhibition, one for me and one for the person who did it, I left the work on the wall and waited. I still believe in it "True dialogue can be achieved only at a touch distance".
