Nicola Dale will perform during the opening of 'On touch' on Thursday 17th 2022. 'Retouch' is a new performance responding to the portraits in J. A. Nicholls' solo exhibition.
Calling attention to the peculiarities of Nicholls' technique, Nicola Dale will present her own face as canvas, medium and mirror, in order to explore performativity and portraiture, gesture and expression.
