<td width="380"><br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#818080" size="2"><em>Anti-bodies</em>: beyond the body ideal explores
different attitudes to the body. It contrasts the
particularity of the artist's body-concept against the ideal
body-machine of the Olympic athlete, so revealing underlying
idealisations of the body as they are reproduced within
different everyday social contexts. </font><br><br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#818080" size="2">The programme takes the form of a series of
contemporary art projects. These are developed for different
cultural contexts and produced by organisations based in the
south west of England, in collaboration with national and
international partners. The Interaction programme includes a
website, an online open submission and presentation platform
<b><em>Open Anti-Bodies</em></b>, a youth initiative
<b><em>Young Anti-Bodies</em></b>, events, discussion, and
resources.</font> <br><br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#818080" size="2"><em>Anti-Bodies</em> seeks to encourage critical
engagement with international art and extend notions of
context-led working and participation in the wider social
realm. The programme is scheduled to run until 2012.
