Current Exhibit

Beyond Embodiment

January 25 - March 20, 2020

Curated by Laura Darlington and Selwa Sweidan

Beyond Embodiment features 25 pioneering female, non-binary, and trans artists whose work probes the boundaries of body and being. Physicality, identity, and presence are explored in actual as well as virtual space; biological systems, from the primordial to the posthuman, are examined and transfigured by technology. Situating the body as form and function, material and process, site and portal, these artists investigate the potentialities of the human condition.
