Body Luggage. Migration of Gestures
Opening
24.09.2016
Commissioned by steirischer herbst. In collaboration with Kunsthaus Graz.
This year's steirischer herbst exhibition imagines the migration of cultural signs across borders, of body language as the signs we carry on our backs, even if it is the only luggage we are able to carry.
When everything can be confiscated from those in flight the body is turned into an archive, where experience and memory are inscribed. Everything a person has experienced, all that he or she is or has been, is inscribed on their body, a body that cannot simply be taken off. How are artistic vocabularies relayed across geographical and temporal boundaries? And what specific artistic objects result from this multiple migration?
