Future Bodies from a Recent Past: Sculpture, Technology, and the Body Since the 1950s - Hardcover

by Patrizia Dander (Editor), Museum Brandhorst (Editor), Louis Chude-Sokei (Contribution by)

Future Bodies from a Recent Past
brings to life a hitherto little-noticed phenomenon in art and
sculpture in particular: the reciprocal interpenetration of bodies and
technology. With 120 works by 59 artists--primarily from Europe, the USA
and Japan--the exhibition is dedicated to the major technological changes
since the post-war period and examines their influence on our notions
of bodies. With contributions on topics such as the influence of
changing production technologies, materialities, and concepts of the
body, but also interdisciplinary considerations of body-technology
relations, a multi-perspective history of contemporary sculpture will be
outlined.

A new perspective on the history of sculpture since the 1950s

• Fascinating interlinking of the body and technology
