Embodiment

This online kit for the exhibition Embodiment is designed for Years 7-12. It includes issues for consideration for three focus artists and their works.

To embody is to express or give a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, or feeling). To embody the experiences of past ancestors or histories is to re-embody with all the sentiment and knowledge created by the initial event with the addition of here and now. The artists in this exhibition do not present re-embodiments as an affirmative confirmation of the past, but rather as questionings of the present.
