Using the body in art is nothing new, but media, politics, war, poverty, wealth, sex, religion, fashion, violence, our parents, technology, design, and well basically everything that surrounds us every day are constantly redefining the way the body is being used. Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center will screen 20 short videos that incorporate the use of the human body in their content tomorrow night. The total running time is 88 minutes, so these really are short videos (perfect for our 21st century short attention spans).

Raw Tactics Of The Subversive Body was organized by Andres Tapia-Urzua of Pittsburgh, and includes works by international artists, as well as Buffalo’s own, Caroline Koebel. The screening investigates – in video – our bodies as we see and use them today. Something very different from how our bodies were seen and used when the groundbreaking everywoman feminist handbook Our Bodies Ourselves was first published in 1971. Today’s political and artistic use of the body is unisex – or equal opportunity. In fact, the screening includes almost as many works by men as women.

Come out and enjoy your body tomorrow night at Hallwalls. The screening is Thursday, September 20, at 8pm in their cinema at 341 Delaware Avenue. Cost is $7, $5 for students and seniors, and $4 for members.

    I felt the cold chill of the intelli-glare that seared through my unit of flesh. It wanted to pone me, take all that i am, all that i have, or think i have and turn it to mold to feed the nanoOrganicSolarVoltaicGenionSys.

    The machine looked my way, bowing it's skullness, toward my frame.

    amen.
