ARKEN Museum of Modern Art
Copehagen, , DK Denmark

Perceptions of the body are shifting along with changes in the human condition. Over the past 50 years, these changes have been extremely rapid. Changes like the establishment of the welfare society, the sexual revolution, mass production, Internet, gene technology, AIDS, organ banks etc. have given rise to various new interpretations of the body. The exhibition illustrates these many different representations of the body and human existence itself.

The exhibition occupies the entire museum presenting 80 international artists’ depictions of the body from 1950 to the present day.

Works by a number of Danish artists such as Asger Jorn and Michael Kvium, as well as international artists like Tom Wesselmann, Hermann Nitsch, Carolee Schneemann, Eric Fischl, Mona Hatoum, Bill Viola, Andres Serrano, Jake & Dinos Chapman and Keith Cottingham will be on view.
