The temporary organisation Bodies of Work is coming to life in Kunsthal Extra City's chapel. During the summer of 2022, it will fill the space with six different exhibitions and events co-curated by the students of Curatorial Studies 2021-22 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK).

The organisation and its programme emerges out of the historic function of chapels as places of contemplation and as intimate gathering spaces. Bodies of Work shows a sequence of various presentations, comparable to distinct organs existing within one body. As the programme unfolds, it introduces a wide range of artistic practices.

The organisation’s role lies in the programming of these diverse practices in a single space, while simultaneously investigating the anatomy and modes of operation of artistic and curatorial organisations. By moving as a body, a programme has been developed that constantly adapts to the needs and desires of the collective, the individual practices and their audience.
