Flesh Arranges Itself Differently at The Hunterian in Glasgow brings together almost 50 works from two renowned collections of works by artists who have evoked bodily experiences, often in response to the impacts of technology, spirituality and mortality. Featured artists from The Hunterian and the David and Indre Roberts Collection, managed by the Roberts Institute of Art, include Rita Ackermann, Christine Borland, Ilana Halperin, Tamara Henderson, Loie Hollowell, Yayoi Kusama, Liliane Lijn, Eduardo Paolozzi, Robert Rauschenberg, Michael E Smith and Danh Vo.
The works range from early anatomical drawings to contemporary works which translate corporeal experiences through sculpture and figurative imagery to more abstract pieces alluding to personal spiritual beliefs – all taking the body as a starting point.
