Flesh Arranges Itself Differently. First Major Art Exhibition of the Year opens at Hunterian Museum in an exploration of the Human Body.

The first major Scottish art exhibition of the year. Flesh Arranges Itself Differently is a unique collaboration between The Hunterian and the David and Indrė Roberts Collection. Co-curated with the Roberts Institute of Art (which manages the David and Indrė Roberts Collection), the exhibition explores the varied ways in which artists have evoked bodily experiences, often in response to the impacts of technology, spirituality or mortality.

Selected by splicing two very different collections together, the works included here range from early anatomical studies to contemporary works in painting, print, sculpture, photography and video by leading international artists. The contemporary works often translate corporeal experiences through sculpture and figurative imagery, but also include more abstract pieces that allude to spiritual beliefs and psychological experiences.
