BODIES

BODIES

An evolving nine-month exhibition exploring the body as resilient, vulnerable, and ever-changing.

Exhibiting artists: Rosa Nguyen, Beth Seeboo, Elena Subach, Emma Franks,Melanie Issaka, Paloma Tendero

'The body is the first space we each inhabit, the structure that carries us through life. It is resilient and fragile, miraculous and unpredictable. This exhibition brings together artists whose work considers what it means to live in and with a body, how it forms, changes, endures, and sometimes resists our expectations. Alongside ideas of creation and change, the exhibition also addresses the complexity of bodies that do not behave in the ways we might imagine or desire. The Artists’ General Benevolent Institution exists to support professional visual artists unable to work due to illness or injury. This exhibition aligns with that mission and acknowledges the vulnerability that comes with depending on the body for livelihood, while also recognising the creativity and strength that arise from navigating the body’s uncertainties. '

“Bodies” invites visitors to consider the body not as a fixed entity but as an ever-changing companion capable of surprising us, challenging us, and teaching us what it means to endure.
