The Plastic Body. Sculpture from Poland 1960-1989 Avec : With: Alina Szapocznikow
Curated by:
Commissariat :
Vibece Salthe, Helga Nyman
The Plastic Body brings together works by several Polish artists who challenged traditional conceptions of sculpture in the 1960s and ’70s. At a time when political and patriarchal structures limited the lives of people in Poland, many artists created very radical and political works. Using experimental techniques and new materials that were often sourced from everyday life, they broke away from conventional ideas about the human body. They explored the body as a plastic material, a place for resistance, transformation and freedom.
