Lucy Dusgate brought together a collection of work by ten international artists for the exhibition – The State of Us – which runs until the end of this month. (Sunday, 23 February)

At the event, she will raise the question if technological intervention has out-paced natural order and open-up a discussion about humans engineering evolution.

The artists that feature have experimented with the body and technology to transform, manipulate, reinvent or reshape how we see and understand ourselves. Work is on display from Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Philippines, Russia, the UK and the USA.

Commenting on the success of the exhibition to date, Dusgate, said: “The public response to The State of Us has been great. Body modification is a very emotive topic – and this exhibition looks at it in the extreme – from the grotesque to the beautiful.”

The State of Us is the latest contemporary art exhibition at The Lowry and forms part of their commitment to presenting the best experimental art to audiences.

The exhibition features a collection of work by ten international artists and will run until Sunday, 23 February (2020).

The exhibition questions if technological intervention has out-paced natural order and examine if humans are engineering evolution.
