Synopsis
A renewed examination of Jeffrey Deitch’s pivotal exhibition
Originally exhibited in 1992, Jeffrey Deitch’s groundbreaking exhibition Post Human brought together the work of thirty-six young artists interested in new frontiers of body and identity transformation. The prescient exhibition, which traveled to five international venues, introduced the art world to posthumanism - how the human body continues to merge with and diverge from technology. Both the show and it catalogue, which featured a unique visual essay and innovative design, helped set the agenda for art discourse in the 1990s.
More than thirty years later, Deitch revitalized Post Human at his Los Angeles gallery, bringing the themes of the original back to the present. The show’s 2024 iteration presented several key figures who participated in the original exhibition in dialogue with emerging contemporary artists whose boundary-pushing work explores how these themes, particularly recent forms of technology such as AI, have evolved over the course of the twenty-first century.
This timely publication revisits artworks from both iterations of the show. Readers will discover color photography of the featured works, along with Deitch’s iconic visual essay from the original catalogue and text contributions from contemporary philosopher Rosi Braidotti and critic Philippa Snow. Together, they form a printed testament to the show’s indelible impact and Deitch’s everlasting influence on the art world.
Featured artists include: Isabelle Albuquerque, Matthew Barney, Ivana Bašić, Frank Benson, Ashley Bickerton, Maurizio Cattelan, Chris Cunningham, John Currin, Alex Da Corte, Olivia Erlanger, Jana Euler, Rachel Feinstein, Urs Fischer, Pippa Garner, Robert Gober, Hugh Hayden, Damien Hirst, Tishan Hsu, Pierre Huyghe, Anne Imhof, Alex Israel, Arthur Jafa, Jamian Juliano-Villani, Mike Kelley, Josh Kline, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Sam McKinniss, Mariko Mori, Takashi Murakami, Wangechi Mutu, Cady Noland, Charles Ray, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Hajime Sorayama, Anna Uddenberg, Cajsa von Zeipel, Jeff Wall, Jordan Wolfson, and Anicka Yi.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Originally exhibited in 1992, Jeffrey Deitch s groundbreaking exhibition Post Human brought together the work of 36 young artists interested in new frontiers of body and identity transformation. The exhibition, which traveled to five international venues, set the agenda for art discourse in the 1990s, and the catalogue of the exhibition, with its visual essay and innovative design, also proved lasting relevance.More than 30 years later, Deitch revitalized Post Human at his Los Angeles gallery, bringing the themes of the original back to the present. The show included several of the key figures who participated in the original exhibition in dialogue with some of the most interesting contemporary artists today who explore how these themes have evolved over the course of the twenty-first century, particularly forms of technology (i.e. AI) that weren t in existence in the 1990s.This publication will revisit the original 1992 works and the new works from the 2024 iteration, celebrating Deitch s everlasting influence on the art world and its understanding of posthumanism how the human body continues to merge with and diverge from technology.
