Both Sides Now V: Exhibition - Bad Bodies彼岸觀自在V:展覽「壞軀體」
Curated by Hong Kong-based curator Nick Yu, the exhibition at artspace Tomorrow Maybe takes inspiration from and gives interpretation of the theme “Queer”. Video artworks from Eisa Jocson, Isaac Chong Wai, Ip Wai Lung, Mary Maggic, Rob Crosse and Samak Kosem are selected under the theme “Bad Bodies”. “Bad” shall not be interpreted as of poor quality here, but of the non-conformist that resists the society’s normalisation of body image. The exhibition will showcase how queer people overthrow narrow understandings of gender identity and regain their autonomy fearlessly with their idea of bad bodies.

展覽由香港策展人俞迪祈策劃,於Tomorrow Maybe藝術空間舉行,從另一角度回應彼岸觀自在V的意念。展覽主題為「壞軀體」,展出六位藝術家莊偉、葉惠龍、Eisa Jocson、Mary Maggic、Rob Crosse及Samak Kosem的錄像及媒體作品。策展人以彼岸觀自在V的主題「酷兒」為靈感,從軀體角度詮釋酷兒。Bad bodies非指低等的身體,而是指推翻主流所認同的身體形象,抗衡對性別的狹窄定義,大膽展露酷兒叛逆精神。
