The exhibition explores the political and technological challenges affecting bodies today. The artists examine how the body becomes a site for ideological and political power, looking at strategies of resistance against state control. Focusing on legal, somatic, and cognitive aspects, they reveal how laws and norms are used as tools for the oppression of “unwanted” or “unconventional” bodyminds.
The New Subject at the KINDL is the fourth and final exhibition of a series of interconnected shows.
