“THE BODY IS A STRANGE THING”

a phrase that has long been echoing in curator Erik Haemers’ mind
a phrase he might one day use for his artistic practice
a phrase that now gives meaning to an exhibition at 4n20 ruimte voor kunst

about the body in art, design and beyond

how is the body depicted and used in art, design and everyday life
depicting the body in an almost abstract way; showing the body, yet not really showing it

movement, strength, vulnerability, flexibility, inspiration, care, …

what do we, as human beings, do with our bodies? how do we protect them? how do we look after them? what are they capable of?
