Clemson University in Clemson, SC, Features Exhibit Focused on Body Image
What Is Your Body Image? is an exhibition on view at Lee Gallery, in Lee Hall, at Clemson University in Clemson, SC. The exhibit will continue through Mar. 16, 2007. The exhibition was curated by Women's Studies and Lee Gallery and is on view simultaneously with Larry Kirkwood's The Body Image Project, Beauty as a Relative Concept hanging in the MFA Gallery also in Lee Hall.
Historically in art, body image has been the artist's view of the model's body or the viewer's view of the completed work. Only in contemporary art have artist begun to discuss a personal view of their own body or the culture's view of bodies. Artist began to question body image and wonder whose image of whose body? What Is Your Body Image? is a collection of local artist who are exploring that question in several different media and across gender lines. As the media bombards us with unattainable male and female bodies, many of us are resorting to life-threatening surgeries, drugs and eating habits. The exhibit is celebrating diversity and gender.
