Bodies on the Edge the Strange the Ugly and the Beautiful
An encounter with the unique, a moment with the unexpected and a glimpse at the hidden
15th & 16th May : 18.30 till 21.00
Exhibition - Live Performance starts at 19.15 : Free
The exhibition features work by a range of artists working in the West Midlands exploring what may be considered strange, ugly or beautiful in the human body.
The original idea for the event came from viewing choreography and live art performance that explores these categories and two recent anthologies by Umberto Eco On Beauty and On Ugliness.
Work has been selected from submissions by artists throughout the West Midlands to provide an evening of live performance and interactive installations and dance workshop as well as gallery space to display films, prints, and photographic images.
