Peter Weibel’s performances differentiate themselves from other actions performed in the 1960s, for instance in Vienna and California, firstly, through their relation to media and secondly, through their relation to politics. His body politics is body critique that is simultaneously a critique of traditional forms of representation as well as identity politics. Unlike classical body artists Weibel did not only search for he emancipation of the body, for instance through the sexual revolution but liberation from the body in the age of its constructability via media and gene technology.

Artist, curator, art and media theorist.
Born 1944 in Odessa; studied literature, film, mathematics, medicine and philosophy in Vienna and Paris.
