The Corpus Alienum group exhibition is on at Los Angeles’ Hunter Shaw Fine Art, opening November 3 and running to December 1.
Featuring Hayden Dunham, Don Edler and Amanda Vincelli, the show examines “the relationship between corporate personhood and biological personhood in the contemporary consumer landscape.” Ideas of agency, biopower and consent are explored in relation to the corporate/consumer relationship, with the press release delving into the 19th century origins of the Supreme Court ruling giving the same 14th amendment rights to corporations as people.
The three artists will explore themes of ecological disaster and industrial byproduct, Paul B. Preciado‘s ‘Pharmacopornographic Era,’ gender fluidity and more, as applied to the definition of a corporation as “a group of people authorized to act as a single entity and recognized as such in law.”
