Earthly Bodies Born of Love is a group exhibition where eight international and Swedish artists connect Avesta's industrial past with today's digital systems. Spanning installations, sound, video games, and moving images, the works demonstrate how contemporary modes of production and daily life shape the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Historically, Avesta has been, and remains, an important site for iron and <\/span>steel production. Today, we live in an economy where data and information are the new raw materials. The exhibition uses this very location to show how these two systems interconnect\u2014and how both affect living organisms, the climate, and consequently, our culture and societies. Through installations, sculpture, video, sound, and video games, the artists demonstrate how technology, labor, and human choices shape the world around us, creating an experience where Avesta's industrial past meets contemporary art. <\/span>Artists from the USA, Finland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, and Sweden <\/span>gather in Avesta for a group exhibition exploring bodies, labor, technology, and the future.<\/span><\/p>

Programmet rymmer flera sverigepremi\u00e4rer och internationellt uppm\u00e4rksammade <\/span>works\u2014ranging from Alice Bucknell's video games and Selma Selman's video works, to site-specific and interactive performances by Lundahl & Seitl, and large-scale installations by Diana Orving and Tuomas A. Laitinen\u2014as well as an opening reception with a live concert.<\/span><\/p>

About Avesta Art <\/span><\/p>
