The Heart is A Pump, Part 1: Almost Nothing to See

Between Bridges is pleased to invite you to an opening as part of our current residency program with Kristian Vistrup Madsen

An exhibition with works by Rochelle Goldberg and Rosa Aiello, Texts by Bob Flanagan and Georges Didi-Huberman. Curated by Kristian Vistrup Madsen.
“Almost nothing was visible, that is to say: already something other than nothing was visible in that almost. One actually saw, then, something else, simply in the looking forward to it or the desiring of it.”
– Georges Didi-Huberman, The Index of the Absent Wound (Monograph on a Stain)

The Heart is a Pump is an exhibition project that takes its name after a poem by Bob Flanagan. It evolves across three parts with attending film screenings and conversations, exploring the motifs of pain, repetition and submission in Christian iconography and beyond.
The Heart is a Pump will unfold in consecutive chapters until the end of June. Open by appointment.

Kristian Vistrup Madsen is a writer and curator based in Berlin. In 2025, he curated Mood Curriculum, a series of events and podcasts at Simian in Copenhagen that sought to define the notion of Stimmung as essential to artistic and curatorial practice.
