James Bantone: Of Bodies in Digital Life

group show
Kunsthaus Langenthal, Langenthal, CH
04 APR – 23 JUN 2024

Opening tba

 

"The exhibition features young Swiss artists whose work engages with the body in digital life. Since the dawn of the internet era, the topic has continued to be a subject of discussion as well as of artistic exploration: Utopian visions of transcending the body and becoming cyborg confront the sober reality of swiping over smooth, cold surfaces for hours on end, causing aching joints and disrupted sleep. While today virtual spaces and online platforms offer diverse opportunities for self-empowerment as well as networking and community-building, the realms beyond these niches continue to be dominated by normatively beautiful and gender-stereotypical body images."
