Body Capital

 BODY CAPITAL

Each of us is possessed of a body, our own personal body capital, a storehouse of potential wealth and well-being.  Collectively it is what each of us stakes in the body politic, in ethics, in concerns for each other and the world. In Body Capital eight video artists engage in humorous feats, extreme performance and the staging of the extraordinary to test the limit points of political will and the body under late Capitalism.
