Description
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.

Keith Haring
Celebrated artist Keith Haring (1958–1990) has been embraced by popular culture for his signature bold graphic line drawings of figures and forms.
