Monster Chetwynd in Temper Tantrum Bonehouse (Chilling Incisions Calling Things That Have No Name)

W139 opens its mouth and swallows you whole in Temper Tantrum Bonehouse (Chilling Incisions Calling Things That Have No Name), an exhibition initiated by Mette Sterre. Featuring works by Lolly Adams, Özgür Atlagan, Monster Chetwynd, Diane Mahín, Aimée Philips & Nina Läuger, and Mette Sterre, this immersive group show explores the limitless potential of the body—turning W139 into a possessed, grotesque, more-than-human organism.

The exhibition features new and existing works that similarly distort the body beyond limitations and familiarity—creating chimeric apparitions that defy categorization and offer counter-narratives against oppressive systems. What unfolds is not a descent into horror, but a reckoning with the politics of fear—woven through the systems that marked specific bodies as monstrous. Fear is not avoided, but disassembled, recoded, reimagined—jammed into new categories.
