Museum Tinguely’s new exhibition “Labouring Bodies” explores the relationship between the body, labor and technology from a feminist perspective. The extensive group exhibition shows how the human body—especially the feminized and marginalized human body—has been shaped and controlled by machines since the dawn of the modern age, and how it has also been understood as a site of resistance. With its focus on working with machines, the technologization of production and reproduction, and women’s contribution to technological progress, the show invites you to rethink your notions of the body, labor, and care. Spanning the period from the early 20th century to the present, the works in the exhibition reveal parallels and underscore the ongoing relevance and topicality of the subject matter.
On this evening, all are welcome to the opening of the exhibition “Labouring Bodies,” which will take place on the occasion of the annual Summer Party of the Museum Tinguely.
