"With 120 works by 59 artists - primarily from Europe, the USA and Japan - the exhibition is dedicated to the major technological changes since the post-war period and examines their influence on our notions of the body. With contributions on topics such as the influence of changing production technologies, materialities, and concepts of the body, but also interdisciplinary considerations of body-technology relations, a multi-perspective history of contemporary sculpture will be outlined"--publisher's description.
