From June the 16th until October the 2nd 2016, the Sungkok Museum of Seoul will host a retrospective dedicated to the work of ORLAN and to the key themes of her artistic approach.
The exhibition ORLAN TechnoBody Retrospective unfolds the work of ORLAN from 1966 to 2016. ORLAN has dedicated her career to self-invention using various media including the traditional, technological and medical. Working with photography, video, sculpture, painting, body, mass media, satellite broadcasting, and biotechnology, she champions hybridization through changing identities, and examines the polemics that arise in the fields of philosophy, politics, sociology, archaeology, and religion.
Ancient pieces, such as photos and videos from her historical performances, will therefore be presented next to the most recent works showing a particular interest in new technologies to retrace the fundamental stages of the career and artistic work of one of the most representative artists of our time.
Find the biography and works of ORLAN on ArtJaws.
