The exhibition <em>Supernatural. Sculptural Visions of the Body<\/em> addresses the future of the body in the era of the Anthropocene. How will our bodies look like? Who or what are we going to be? What kind of environment will we live in?<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition <em>Supernatural<\/em> offers a variety of possible answers explored by visionary contemporary artists like Isa Genzken, Sam Jinks or Anna Uddenberg. These not only exemplify the impact of the digital revolution and genetic engineering on &#8220;posthumans&#8221; and the environment but also illustrate how increasingly blurred the line between nature and culture has become. In turn, these technological innovations are also evermore changing the face and future of sculpture. 3D printing, robotics and synthetic biology have all shaped new artistic creation processes.<\/p>\n<p>Four thematic areas \u2013 <em>Human-technological-Metamorphoses, Hybrid Others, Post Nature and Artist 4.0<\/em> &#8211; encourage us to deal with questions of our time in a variety of ways by means of post-human sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>Idea and Concept: Dr Nicole Fritz, curated by Dr Nicole Fritz and Maximilian Letze<\/p>\n<div class=\"ex-info\">\n<p><strong>Exhibition objects:<\/strong> ca. 30 sculptures<br \/>\n<strong>Exhibition space:<\/strong>\u00a0ca. 500 sqm (adjustable in size)<br \/>\n<strong>Exhibition catalog:<\/strong> German\/English<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition venues:<\/strong><br \/>\nKunsthalle T\u00fcbingen, Germany, October 10, 2020 \u2013 March 7, 2021<br \/>\nOulu Museum of Art, Finland, May 29, 2021 &#8211; October 17, 2021<br \/>\nTaipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan, February 18, 2023 &#8211; June 4, 2023<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/test-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Installation view Supernatural.
