Edel Assanti is pleased to present Host – a multi-chaptered online exhibition exploring the theme of embodiment: the experience of navigating and perceiving the world from the perspective of a body.
Host unfolds in three thematically distinct chapters, which will each be accompanied by a Reading Room of additional materials. These chapters reframe notions of agency, knowledge and natural hierarchy by respectively exploring the body’s interconnectivity with its environment, the body as an environment, and the body as incarnation of the individual self
Originally planned as a gallery exhibition faced with perpetual postponement, Host culminates 18 months of ongoing research into this expansive topic, reimagining a presentation of diverse artistic research and practices outside of a physical format.
