"Expressive Bodies - Contemporary Art Photography from The Kinsey Institute"
October 19th through November 18th, 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

LACDA - Los Angeles Center for Digital Art
107 West Fifth St. • (323) 646-9427
SNAP TO GRID - the UN-Juried show

Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited. The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the "mobblogers" around the globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.
