ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: The work assembled for this exhibition extended the enduring tradition of the human body as subject in art and the more recent notion of the body as art-making object. Unlike other recent investigations, the emphasis here is on the meanings of the body's physical form, not the metaphorical possibilities of its internal functions. Here the focus is on the multiple signifying uses of the body's external characteristics, its functions as an index of well-being and social standing; as a tool expressing emotion or marking time; and as a determinant of action, of fate. This exhibition featured paintings, cibachrome diptychs, lithographs, sculpture, photographs.. ISBN: 1881894045. First Edition. Stapled Softcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 9.75" x 7.25".
