One of the main strategies of this approach is using the specific social roles of these other bodies, thus making the societal dimension a core element of the work—these ‹other bodies› are also described as “extras.” This volume contextualizes the appearance of these other bodies in the broader context of the 1990s, especially in relation to Relational Aesthetics and its theoretical devices. The publication also analyzes the transition from the use of a “bio-political” body to a “psycho-political” body, as seen over the last 30 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough successive case studies—among others, the artistic strategies of Ai Weiwei, Vanessa Beecroft, L.A. Raeven, Christoph Schlingensief, Santiago Sierra, Teresa Margolles, and Artur Żmijewski—the author develops a typology of the ‹extra body› and explores its different contexts and references. This art historical research is also linked to an investigation of the relationship between the performing body and its assimilation into the art market and the global art system. Additional insights are given by interviews with artists, gallerists, and participants, who take on the role of an ‹extra body›.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by\u003cbr\u003eRaphael Gygax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor(s)\u003cbr\u003eRaphael Gygax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerman\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-3-03764-519-2\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 2018\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover, 160x230mm\u003cbr\u003eImages: 47 color\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Nicolas Eigenheer, Nicolas Leuba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by JRP|Ringier\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17161288384563,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/3434\/7315\/files\/Kat_Ausst_2017_ExtraBodies_Leseprobe.pdf_Page_01.jpg?v=1783084602","url":"https:\/\/shop.migrosmuseum.ch\/en\/products\/extra-bodies","provider":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
