The book, published by Silvana Editoriale, offers a broad survey of developments in Nordic Countries video art since the 60's until nowadays and the poetics developed by artists. Particular attention has given to artists who have worked since the 90s until the most recent generation.

The Body as universe: Works from the Wellcome Collection with Contemporary and Japanese art
MORI ART MUSEUM, TOKYO, JAPAN
www.mori.art.museum
Nothing is so close and yet so little known to us as the human body. From ancient times, we have sought to elucidate its mechanisms and through developments in medical technologies, prolong our own deaths. At the same time, the body has always been the artist’s subject and inspiration - one that is often used as a metaphor for the whole world. The theme of this exhibition is the body as the meeting place of art and science. With the help of the British Wellcome Trust - the world’s largest independent charity funding research in medicine and pharmacology - we bring precious historical documents on medicine together with contemporary and classical Japanese art, exploring a fascinating union that continues from times long gone through to futuristic explorations such as in biotechnology. This unique exhibition finds connections between the mortal human life and the eternity of art.
Participating Artists: Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Warhol, Bai Yilio, Magnus Wallin
