Photo by Mary Daniel Hobson "Stitching", 1996; From the series "Emergence"; Kodalith & mixed media. Curated by Alicia Miller BODY / LANGUAGE explores the complicated intersection between mind and body, bringing together works in which language is used to site the body in relation to the self. The exhibition elucidates the myriad of ways in which physical experience is understood through language investigating a diversity of issues and concerns about the body and its cultural and existential identity. Often working with layering and collage elements, these artists allow both the body and language to become intimate partners in their description of the self. Their picture is one which unifies mind and body, breaking down the traditional hierarchy between the two and allowing for a more profound contemplation of the part each plays the digestion of our lived experience.   Return to Past Exhibition list related books: Coming Soon   home | about | exhibitions | bookstore | events | membership | journal | mentoring | links Copyright 1999.
