Bodies and Machines in Sculpture and Performance

Thursday, November 12, 2015 6:30 - 8 pm Kirkland Arts Center Gallery

This Kirkland Arts Center lecture will look at sculptural and performance artworks that connect the body in physical ways to technological apparatus, pulling apart the layers of the works with the help of concepts from scholars of technology studies. We will explore the ways in which these artworks represent a technological extension, transformation, or intersection with a human body’s physical and personal experience. The talk will include works by Jennifer Crupi, Stelarc, Theo Jansen, Janine Antoni, and others.
