With works by Malin Hallgren, Maja Malou Lyse, Cassie Augusta Jørgensen and Erika Stöckel, the exhibition
BODIES AND ANTIBODIES continues at Index until Sunday 28 January.
The constellation of artistic works creates an interplay of positions: the body as subject and object, vessel and commodity, resisting or succumbing to the values ascribed. One starting point is the questioning of attitudes to identity construction and historical approaches to the concept of femininity. is there such a thing as emancipatory exhibitionism, or is the body inevitably exploited when exposed? The voice – and the possibility of having a voice – resonates in the exhibition as a political desire to dismantle the status quo.
During the final weeks of the exhibition, welcome to join a series of three events which host discussions around artists, bodies, and images.
