At the center of the project Body, Gaze, Power: A Cultural History
of the Bath is a global social practice that is as old as humankind
itself. Even though it has always been associated with cleansing
rituals, what is revealed here are centuries of bathing references
that go far beyond such topics as hygiene, health, and wellness. In
fact, as the site where the act of bathing occurs, the bathroom has
always been ideologically, religiously, socially, and culturally
charged, and it remains so to this day. The catalogue features
objects and works of art from various epochs, lands, and cultures,
from seventeenth-century barber's bowls, heaters, or
nineteenth-century hammam sandals, to works by artists ranging from
Albrecht Durer to David Hockney, Thomas Demand to Zoe Leonard.
Besides the many illustrations, informative texts help readers to
immerse themselves in the pleasures of various bathing cultures.
Selected featured artists: Patrick Angus, Joseph Beuys, Giuseppe
Cesari, Atelier de Jacques-Louis David, Maurice Denis, Thomas
