Visit the studios of Guerrilla Girls, Anicka Yi, Tauba Auerbach, and Hank Willis Thomas!
“Bodies of Knowledge” documents the work and processes of Guerrilla Girls, Anicka Yi, Tauba Auerbach, and Hank Willis Thomas. The artists in this hour pilot new ways to understand ourselves and the world at a time when a belief in truth and the historical record is fast eroding.
Viewers will have the opportunity to experience an in-the-moment Guerrilla Girls intervention staged in front of major New York City museums; the creative process behind Hank Willis Thomas’ new public sculpture, The Embrace; Anicka Yi’s flying, AI-controlled “aerobe” machines at the Tate’s Turbine Hall in London; and Tauba Auerbach’s two-person, interdependent pump organ, Auerglass. The artist investigators of “Bodies of Knowledge” shed light on little-known truths about society and its workings, taking deep dives into subjects like the exclusion of women and artists of color from fine art institutions and the hidden math underlying centuries of
visual patterning.
“The artists in “Bodies of Knowledge” question how we know what we know,” says Tina Kukielski, Susan Sollins Executive Director and Chief Curator of Art21. “They are truth-seekers, and their art expands our capacity to understand the world and one another.”
