Breaking Shells. Part I
The Koppel Project is pleased to present Breaking Shells, a group exhibition curated by Justine Do Espirito Santo. Bringing together nine contemporary artists, the show examines the body from a female perspective. The exhibition takes over the two Koppel Project galleries, Baker Street and The Hive, to present two distinct but continuous explorations of this subject.
Part I, at Baker Street, explores narratives and representations of the body, both from a historical and a contemporary point of view. The artists examine subjects including the relationship between body and identity; how female bodies are represented in art, history, and pop culture; clich茅s surrounding black bodies; taboos and ideas about sexuality, sex work, and fetishism; the relationship between body and language. Together, the display takes the viewer into a universe merging past and present, where the body, omnipresent, is in turn scrutinised, idealised, objectified, and empowered.
