WE’RE HERE is a collection of ceramics, textiles, and drawings by Ak Jansen which comprise his first solo show in New York City. Born in the Netherlands, Jansen’s work occupies queerness on both poetic and political terms, and honors queer community’s ethic of creative self-making. The work is about care and intimate relation; how they manifest, are compelled and sustained. The work is about the nature of bodies – in relation to each other but also to themselves; shifting, in flux, and at times against their own will – transforming. Clay, fiber, needle and thread – Jansen’s works are invested with the history of human hands that meet human needs.
