One deflates. {Opening: 02.09.2026, 6-9pm} For the exhibition One tires. One deflates. nathan c’ha develops a new site-specific and transdisciplinary project at 8B®1. Rooted in an ongoing sketchbook practice, the exhibition unfolds as a meditation on possibility, exploring how the body in its physical, political, spiritual, and cultural dimensions is both constrained by and resists its surroundings. As c’ha writes: I have been chipping away at depicting a non-binary existence in all its trials and tribulations faced by my own example, but have been hitting walls all around. How does one portray a body that does not get considered a legitimate body by the vast majority of people, as well as most policy-makers? One tires. One deflates. One can choose to liquify oneself, like jelly poured into a mold, deformed and glorious. To be shiny in the face of people who do not consider one worthy. One can choose to accept the perpetual loss of appeal to the masses and embrace the love of the equally weird and beautiful. Or, if one is not too sick and beat down for it, to rise up in resistance and get up time and time again. In this motion, I seek to inquire into the body as a shifting object, an embodied object, a vessel for light to shine through and ultimately reveal what follows next.” These reflections inform the exhibition’s structure and unfold across two rooms. An audio piece weaves both spaces, guiding visitors along shifting routes of image and movement, forming a conceptual bridge between artist, audience, and site. The exhibition was curated by Seth Weiner. This project is made possible through the generous support of the City of Vienna’s Cultural Department (State Wien | Kultur), Lower Austria (Land Niederösterreich), the Republic of Austria’s Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport (BMWKMS).
