About this work
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Published by CIRCA on the occasion of The Manual of Action (2024), 1, 2, 3... I Love You is a series of twelve hand-signed butt prints by Kembra Pfahler. Screen printed in a vibrant pastel palette, the works emerge from the artist's celebrated Sit-Ins, transforming the body into both image and message through a visual language that is playful, provocative and deeply personal.\n\nThe series takes its title from a gesture shared by Pfahler's grandparents, who communicated \"I love you\" through three squeezes of the hand. Reimagined through the artist's distinctive practice, these butt prints combine tenderness with defiance, drawing on decades of performance, music and radical self-invention. Long recognised as a central figure within New York's underground culture, Pfahler reclaims the body as a site of freedom, humour and creative possibility, challenging conventional ideas of beauty and artistic value.\n\nReleased alongside The Manual of Action, a twelve-week public programme encouraging participants to become \"their own kind of artist\", the series extends Pfahler's belief that creativity belongs to everyone. Both affectionate and rebellious, 1, 2, 3... I Love You celebrates artistic freedom as an act of everyday transformation."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":""}]}]}
