POSITIONS #6: BODYWORK (virtual tour)
Bodywork consists of five interconnected solo shows by internationally acclaimed artists. On display are works by Laure Prouvost, a crowd favourite during the last Venice biennale, Praneet Soi, Zach Blas, Navine G. Khan-Dossos and Ajla R. SteinvĂĄg, who is making her museum solo debut. With a range of geographical backgrounds and forms of expression, the artists in Bodywork each find a unique way to relate to the human body.
Rather than looking at the body as a natural given, the artists survey the culture in which our bodies operate. They explore the social engineering of the body, (mis)communication, vulnerability, and the effects of technological developments on both the individual and society as a whole. The very diverse artistic visions in Bodywork are manifold, they heighten your senses and challenge you to expand your understanding of the human body.
