Sugar tastes sweet. Lemons stay sour. Affirmative statements are provisional claims to truth. The last statement is true for all the previous statements and for this one as well. Just like beverages dealing with the nature of beauty and taste.
DEFLATABLE AESTHETICS is a sequel to the gallery’s first ever exhibition – titled INFLATABLE AESTHETICS that took place at HAWAII-LISBON in 2016.
