What do we do to the body – adorn it, discipline it, optimize it – and when does shaping the body become a kind of magic?ALPHA and Copenhagen Contemporary invite you to an evening seminar on the body as material and meaning in contemporary art and fashion. Unfolding inside the exhibition Shapeshifters – Magic in Art & Fashion, the evening moves from a curator’s tour, through a conversation on the ornamentation, discipline and optimization of the body, to a hands-on workshop where you make your own talisman to take home – before we round off the night outside with the last of the summer sun.The seminar is part of a Nordic series supported by Nordisk Kulturfond.Language: Danish.Programme:18:00 – 18:40: Shapeshifters – Magic in Art & FashionA curator’s tour with Ane Lynge-Jorlén, Director of ALPHA.18:40 – 19:30: Body, Power and AestheticsA conversation on the body’s ornamentation, discipline and optimization with artist Lina Hashim and designer Jeppe Juel.
