BODY ANXIOUSJesse Levesque. (Curator)Cressman Center Gallery (The University of Louisville - Department of Fine Arts) 01. August 2007 |
| The exhibit will explore the intersection of art, the body, and medical procedures, with the implicit fear of bodily pain (real or imagined) as a major theme. The human body is vulnerable and mortal, yet it is also the biological basis of human existence. "Body Anxious" includes works by artists from around the world, in, often, unconventional media, who examine the anxieties associated with medical procedures and instruments, and other experiences that remind us of our shared precarious biological condition. Artists include: Gottfried Helnwein, Kiki Smith, Diana Falchuk, James R. Southard, Drew Sellers, Cristin Millet and Chiharu Shiota. |

Curated by Jesse Levesque. Gallery Hours: Wed. - Fri., 11 a.m . - 6 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.; & 1st Fri., 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. All Cressman Center events are free and open to the public.

Louisville Courier-Journal, 'BODY ANXIOUS', Critic's pick, Diane Heilenman, 22. Juli 2007 The show features a moving and disturbing cast of artists, including the international hyper-realist painter and high-life art star Gottfried Helnwein of Ireland and the unpretentious, almost clinical print-maker, German-born American Kiki Smith of New York City. Others in the show include Cristin Millet of Philadelphia, Diana Falchuk of Seattle, Japanese-born Chiharu Shiota of Berlin and James R. Southard of Louisville. All have an interest in the transience of life and its cultural mysteries.=> Louisville Courier-Journal, 'BODY ANXIOUS', Critic's pick, Diane Heilenman, 22. Juli 2007 |
