IN RESIDENCE: 2014- 2016

A trauma surgeon works to repair her patient’s internal organs, a painter seeks to expose the raw humanity of his nude model, and a woman journeys back to Chernobyl as she strives to understand the body that is now only partially hers. BODY digs into the flesh, organs, bones, systems, and movement of the human body as art and as machine.

“It is beautiful, sensual, wistful, and thought provoking…BODY is an evening of the beautifully unexpected. Not sensationalistic.
It ‘is’ sensational.”
