Seduction of the Cyborg
The final section at the Corderie is introduced by the fifth and last time capsule, revolving around the figure of the cyborg. This presentation brings together artists working over the course of the 20th century who imagined new fusions of the human and the artificial, as harbingers of a posthuman, postgender future.
This capsule includes artworks, artefacts, and documents from early 20th-century artists such as the Dadaist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Bauhaus photographers Marianne Brandt and Karla Grosch, and Futurists Alexandra Exter, Giannina Censi, and Regina Cassolo Bracchi. Here, Anu Põder's delicate sculptures portray fragmented bodies that stand in contrast with Louise Nevelson's monoliths, Liliane Lijn's totems, Rebecca Horn's machines, and Kiki Kogelnik's robots. Also featured: Anna Coleman Ladd, Florence Henri, Hannah Höch, Lavinia Schulze and Walter Holdt, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Marie Vassilieff.
