"Expressive
Bodies - Contemporary Art Photography from The Kinsey Institute"
October
through November , 2007
Herron
Gallery at Herron School of Art and Design
Carolyn's
photo collage titled "Devotion", which is held in the permanent
collection of The
Kinsey Institute for Sex, Gender and Reproduction, traveled to Indianapolis,
Indiana, for an exhibit titled, "Expressive Bodies - Contemporary
Art Photography from The Kinsey Institute" held at the Herron Gallery.
"This exhibition of original prints from the collection of The
Kinsey Institute surveys the use of the photographic medium by contemporary
artists to express ideas about sexuality and gender, and to explore
the visual impact of the human body. The sexual and gender identity
of the photographer sometimes plays an essential role in the creation
of a work, or it may be incidental to the artist's creative process.
Expressive Bodies featured works by established artists such as Laura
Aguilar, Erwin Olaf, Herbert Ascherman, Pierre et Gilles, Judy Dater,
Joel-Peter Witkin, Herb Ritts, Arthur Tress, Michal Macku, Ivan Pinkava,
Lynn Bianchi, Robert Bianchi, Mariette Pathy Allen, Michael Rosen, and
Frank Yamrus, as well as talented photographers at the start of their
artistic careers. This exhibition contained nudity and sexual imagery
and appropriate for adults only.
The art collection at The Kinsey Institute is renowned for its extensive
holdings in vernacular erotic photography, much of it produced anonymously
for private use or commercial distribution. Expressive Bodies is the
first exhibition from The Kinsey Institute to highlight its growing
collection of prints by contemporary fine art photographers from around
the world." - The Herron Gallery
