Upstream Gallery proudly presents Future Bodies, a group exhibition curated by Anne de Jong that brings together a group of artists who explore the role of the body through different technologies and from a female perspective. By combining historical work with the work of young, emerging artists, the exhibition shows the view of different generations. The artists work together with machines, merge with them or question their functioning. In different media and from various angles, the artworks in this exhibition shed light on the role of the body in the digitized society. Whereas the male perspective is still dominant in the (digital) art world, attention is paid here to the female gaze. The artists explore the possibilities and limitations of digital technology and virtual worlds for bodies in the past, present and future.
With Salomé Chatriot, Auriea Harvey, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Martina Menegon, Eva Papamargariti, Coralie Vogelaar, Cassie McQuater and Addie Wagenknecht
