Embodied
Sep 19, 2018 - Dec 16, 2018
Drawing from the Picker Art Gallery鈥檚 permanent collection along with selected works from the Longyear Museum of Anthropology, this exhibition explores how artists have engaged with the body as subject and as metaphor. Embodied considers the social and political meanings of the body, particularly issues of identity, gender, and race. How have external structures shaped our perceptions of the body, and what are the implications for how we interpret bodies in contemporary society?
The exhibition will include works on paper, sculpture, and photography by artists such as Diane Arbus, Alexander Archipenko, Paul C茅zanne, Claude Cahun, and Philip Pearlstein, as well as African and Pre-Columbian objects depicting the human form.
