"Privacy Please!" Exhibition
A.I.R. Gallery
This event has ended.
Privacy Please! explores how women artists express private grooming rituals in their work. During the second wave of the modern feminist movement in the 1970's, female scholars questioned notions of beauty and how its perception was often linked to social standards.
Like their historical counterparts, many of the women artists in Privacy Please! turn a critical lens toward how current notions of beauty - often perpetrated by the media - affect women today.The fourteen artists in this exhibition use ideas of transformation, their own childhood, or more conceptual ideas of beauty, and employ a wide range of media to explore private grooming rituals.
