The Body

If I did (n’t). (2007/2008)Stop-motion animation DVD format Duration: 3.47 min by GCAD visiting artist 2008 Nathani Luneburg, South Africa

July  1 – July 23  THE BODY, curated by Rodney Forbes
Works by Gippsland, Melbourne and international artists, dealing with the body. Opening Tue 30 June 5pm.

THE BODY

The body is a theme that is never exhausted in visual art. From the first body decorations to the latest virtual worlds, a central concern has been how we feel about our body - its power, its health and its identity. Urgency has been added to this examination in recent decades by the issues of genetic engineering, cyber extensions to the body, transgenic viruses, new ways of viewing gender and media-fuelled body anxiety.

In this exhibition curated by Rodney Forbes, 16 local, Melbourne and international artists associated with Gippsland Centre for Art and Design give a snapshot of a range of contemporary visual ways of interrogating these issues.
