Eccentric Bodies Exhibition
Mason Gross School of the Arts 33 Livingston New Brunswick, NJ
Eccentric Bodies includes the work of seven women artists who are creating a new “gaze” directed towards the female nude. These artists explore the intersection of life’s imprint on the site of women’s bodies. Their work contradicts the conventional “male gaze” of Western art since the Renaissance in which the nude as sexually passive and available; the contemporary gaze of artists like John Currin and Lisa Yuskavage, who have subverted the traditional “male gaze” through exaggeration and distortion; and the gaze of the feminist artists of the 1970s who were concerned primarily with gender issues. The Eccentric Bodies artists are concerned with such issues as the aging body and the body as the bearer of cultural identity and ethnicity.
The show’s seven artists themselves represent a range of geography, age, and medium. They are Harriet Casdin-Silver, photographer, Boston, Massachusetts; Bailey Doogan, painter, Tucson, Arizona; Brenda Goodman, painter, New York; Orlan, performance and video artist, Paris, France; Ernestine Ruben, photographer, Princeton, New Jersey; Berni Searle, performance and video artist, Johannesburg, South Africa; and Linda Stein, sculptor, New York.
