  • ""In recent decades, the body has moved from being the subject of traditional portraiture to become an active presence in live and participatory events. Art historical, socio-political and cultural developments, from radical feminism in the 1970s to contemporary scientific breakthroughs, have all had a profound influence on artists' attitudes to, and representations of, the human form."

  • "Etude de la relation entretenue par l'art avec le corps humain, depuis le début des années 1990. De nombreux thèmes sont analysés : la place de l'individu dans la société, la représentation du temps et de l'espace, l'hybridation du corps et le corps monstrueux, les notions d'identité et de différence, etc."
  • "The Body in Contemporary Art presents an international survey of art made since the early 1990s that has the body as its focus. It examines such areas as nature and technology, the grotesque, identity politics and the place of the individual in society."

Featuring the work of both renowned and up-and-coming figures, including Francis Alÿs, Marlene Dumas, Matthew Barney, Oleg Kulik, Rineke Dijkstra and Ernesto Neto, this book shows how the body continues to be pivotal to our understanding and expression of our place in the universe."--pub. desc."
