Body and Shame

Time: Saturday August 19 at 2 PM

Place: Konsthall C

Language: English

We are thrilled to invite you to an existing artist talk Saturday 19th of August featuring two remarkable artists who are pushing boundaries and exploring thought-provoking themes around body ideals, shame, queerness and social norms through their art practices.

Tore Hallas, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a visual artist whose work navigates the realms of fatness, queerness, religious ontologies, and intention. Through video, photography, and text, he explores personal narratives and intersectionalities of violences and positionalities. Hallas' exploration of the othered body and mind is infused with themes of travel and displacement.

Cristian Quinteros Soto explores in his artistic practice collective experiences such as migration, in-betweenness, and care. He creates and investigates spaces for collective nudity that can create a potential to neutralize the expectations that the body is exposed to in society. Can these rooms enable a dialogue about the body that is decoupled from the framework of society.
