“Where are we to put the limit between the body and the world, since the world is flesh?” – Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Organized alongside the 45th Annual AHVA Graduate Symposium of the same name, Flesh: Embodying Praxis is a selection-based exhibition that is critically invested in the ways in which artists work with various notions and materials of flesh. In other words, how do the bodies of artists and creators serve as interlocutors between theory and such inscribed and performed praxis?
We acknowledge that the UBC Vancouver campus is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam).
This exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies & the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia
