 2021-2022 Exhibitions


Embodied is a curated collection of documented performance art and experimental video in which the body is the central unifying factor. This collection of work explores how identities, emotions, and experiences are all perceived within the human body while concurrently being expressed and understood by the outside world. Each artist's body makes up the content of the work while simultaneously the artist is experiencing the work while it is being made.

This duality of creation while consuming parallels the capabilities and limitations that exist within our own human bodies. This collection of video work explores of how the human body acts as vessels for our identity to reside.
