GENERATORprojects, Unit 25-26 Mid Wynd Industrial Estate, DD1 4JG

The exhibition, “Flesh and Finitude”, has borrowed its title from Cary Wolfe’s book, What is Posthumanism (2010). It explores the boundaries of human life and body. What is the end of the human and where does something else begin?

Wellgate Shopping Centre, Level 2 & 3, DD1 2DB. Entrance on Victoria Street
