CCS BARD

Bodily Acts, investigates performances of three generations of artists. Photographs and videos by Vanessa Beecroft, Patty Chang, Valie Export, Nikki S. Lee, and Cindy Sherman comment on identity, objectification, and vulnerability through a feminist lens. By using their own bodies or surrogates for their bodies as the focal point of their work, the artists place themselves in a position that at once empowers and exposes them.
