Objectify This: Female Anatomy Dissected and Displayed
@ Design Cloud Gallery
118 N Peoria 2N Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, September 7th, from 6PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, September 29th
Street Anatomy is proud to present ‘OBJECTIFY THIS: Female Anatomy Dissected and Displayed’, a group exhibition of paintings and illustrations spotlighting the anatomy of the female body. The exhibition is influenced by and will feature the female anatomical work of famed Spanish illustrator and painter, Fernando Vicente.
Throughout time, female anatomical illustration has evoked a multitude of feelings beyond simple academic representation. It’s one of the reasons why the male form has been the exemplum of the human body throughout time, with the female illustrated only as the variation in terms of reproductive organs and surface anatomy. This exhibition seeks to portray females only in relation to other females. It will compel viewers to question the objectivity surrounding ‘female anatomy’ and define—or re-define—their own perceptions through the art, perspectives, literature, and live burlesque performances during the opening.
