The flesh of space: Marco Bizzarri, John Divola, Varvara Uhlik, Zearo

The Sunday Painter is pleased to announce the opening ofThe flesh of space, a group exhibition spanning painting, installation, and photography that explores how architectural spaces become repositories of the psyche—shaping experience, imagination, and memory. Featuring works by Marco Bizzarri, John Divola, Varvara Uhlik and Zearo, the exhibition presents architecture stripped of human figures yet imbued with their trace—spaces suspended in temporal arrest where absence operates not as vacancy but as presence turned inward.

In these works, walls and furnishings cease to be inert structures. They become witnesses—membranes absorbing gestures, atmospheres, psychological sediment. Doors stand ajar, threshold and invitation collapsed into one. An abandoned room, its fleshy surfaces decayed and softened by time, returns our gaze. A motionless swing, a seesaw suspended mid-air. A bathtub drawn for a body departed or approaching, its surface undisturbed. The quiet tilt of furniture arranged by no visible hand. Each object waits—patient, dense with the gravitational pull of what has been and might return.

Across four distinct practices, The flesh of space argues that architecture is never neutral—it records, retains, and reflects the psychological weight of habitation.
