Kunsthal Aarhus invites you to the opening of the first two chapters under the exhibition title I Am Your Body, just in time for the autumn break. The exhibition explores the significance of the body and invites reflection on the question: What makes a human “human”?

The exhibition spans across the entire Kunsthal Aarhus, showcasing works by seven international artists. Join us for drinks and snacks as we celebrate the festive opening.

I Am Your Body: Chapter 1 – Automation takes place in the large gallery in the basement level of Kunsthal Aarhus. This is a solo show by Michala Paludan (Denmark), featuring newly commissioned installation with sound, video and objects alongside her emblematic photo series, The Unposed (EoAT).

I Am Your Body: Chapter 2 – Flesh is a group show that explores what it means to be human, featuring six South and East Asian artists working in various media:

• Gallery 1: A movie theater showing two documentaries by filmmaker and artist Yoonsuk Jung (South Korea); Non-Fiction Diary (2013) and Lash (2024).

• Gallery 2: An archive presenting performance works by Zhang Huan (China), Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (Thailand), Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia), and He Chengyao (China).

• Gallery 3: A rotunda which contains seven immersive paintings by Keunmin Lee (South Korea), created specifically for this exhibition.
