Throughout the exhibition, questions of racial and gendered embodiment of power remain a principal concern. Rejecting a simple capitulation to a figurative presentation of the body, some artists like Jimmy De Sana and Tony Cragg find a new dialogue in figuring the body as a mutant, engrained in wide power dynamics. In De Sana’s Marker Cones, the body is placed in a simulated natural setting; the plains of Astroturf flow from a sculpted Astroturf hill. However, the corner of the room underscores the artificiality of the place. The figure has been made acephalic. The bare shoulders echo the naked ass. Four orange marker cones cap the extremities. The artificiality of the space and the contortions of the body have rendered each part the equivalent to the others.
