SuperBodies

Hasselt

In spite of its name, SuperBodies is not an exhibition about super-bodies and super-people. On the contrary, it is actually about just regular bodies. Because even though bodies are not all that extraordinary or perfect, they do wonderful things—they are, in fact, wonderful machines.

SuperBodies explores thus the fascination of many artists and designers for the way in which our body secretly moulds and shapes our experiences. The exhibition presents the body in all of its often half-conscious operations. A large, interactive ensemble of works from visual artists, choreographers and (fashion-) designers makes us see and feel the body as the source of our thoughts and emotions. Upcoming and internationally established artists and designers operate on the boundaries between disciplines to unravel the mysteries of the body.

Amongst others, participating artists are Martin Margiela (1957, BE), Naomi Filmer (1969, GB), Junya Watanabe (1961, JP) and Christoph De Boeck (1972, BE).
