Foreign Bodies is a multi-site contemporary art project, reflecting upon the notion of the ‘foreign’ in relation to prevailing attitudes in the UK.
Organised by students on the MA Curation course at University of Exeter, Foreign Bodies explores the experience of being on the margins and what it feels like to be an outsider in a dominant cultural context.
As well as considering issues of diversity and inclusion in relation to gender, health, sexuality, and race, Foreign Bodies considers what it must be like to be ‘more than human’ in an urban setting, and how our unchecked consumerism has polluted the world’s oceans. The project also invites alternative modes of thinking, beyond traditional Western divisions of nature and culture, such as the esoteric practices of magic and divination.
Fantastic Mr (Urban) Fox
Fantastic Mr (Urban) Fox (curated by Siyuan Huang) presents the work of Marie Lehmann who envisions the rewilding of cities and closer human-animal coexistence. The exhibition reflects on the recent COVID-19 pandemic, a time when wildlife reclaimed deserted inner cities, prompting us to imagine a renewed symbiosis between human beings and other species within urban spaces.
