Feminist Looking Glass

This morning my friend sent me a link to an art exhibit at NYC’s Cheim & Read in Chelsea. The show titled “Female Gaze: Women Look At Women” is set to run through September 19th, and features 41 paintings, sculptures and photographs of women and created by women.

The point is to reclaim the female image from the male gaze, as all of these interpretations of women are created through a female lens.

The Douglas Kelley Show writes that:

This exhibition attempts to debunk the notion of the male gaze by providing a group of works in which the artist and subject do not relate as “voyeur” and “object,” but as woman and woman.

This looks like an interesting and informative exhibit for anyone who enjoys art. For more information on the show, check out this DKS video:
