Woman + Body
Seoul and Gwangju, South Korea 2012 for Women's Caucus for Art
Director: Hye-Seong Tak Lee
Co-Director: Sherri Cornett

Woman + Body Exhibition Video


Theme
Woman + Body explored the range of sexual identification - female, transgender, and male - with a contemporary, 21st century view. The subject of the female body was well-explored in the 1960's and produced many discourses in the 90's, related to such issues as AIDS, cosmetic surgery, stereotyping and discrimination. What is new? This exhibition seeks works by women that explore the human body from these perspectives: 
1) Woman's Body as Subject: unabashed exploration of women's bodies and women's desires- unaltered, unadulterated images that set a new standard of beauty. 
2) Transformation and Crossover: Bodies altered through cosmetics, cosmetic surgery, tattoos, sex change, cross dressing, costuming and other means to achieve a metamorphosis. 
3) Man's Body as Subject: a woman's view of the male body - affectionate, lustful, critical, envious. 

Background
Hye-Seong Tak Lee, a Korean Women's Caucus for Art Member-At-Large, independent curator, artist and lecturer at Gwangju University, initially proposed this collaboration between WCA artists and Korean women artists to Sherri Cornett, who became the co-director, with Hye-Seong, of this project.  Sherri traveled to Seoul to install and open the first venue of this collaboration.
