At Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation, you can see work by the minimalist dance artist Simone Forti. which gives a deep insight into the influential artist, writer, dancer and choreographer. Born in 1935 in Italy, Forti broke through in the 1960s, developing her groundbreaking stance on dance, involving improvisation and movements from everyday life. How do we use our bodies as tools for experience and interaction?

See more at Index until November 15th. You can also look out for an upcoming cyborg feminism project this winter and work by Stephen Willats at the same venue next spring.
