Bay Area Artists' Artwork Traveled to Kinsey Institute
The Kinsey Institute Gallery
April 13 - June 29, 2012
Man as Object presents works of art that examine the visibility of men and masculinity from female/feminist/transgender perspectives. By surveying the ways men are represented in contemporary art by women, this exhibition opens new dialogues regarding the myriad of ways women view men in today's culture and society. It marks an important development in feminist art, which has long concentrated on images of women meant to challenge stereotypical notions of womanhood. A gallery filled with works depicting men, created by women, actively resists the prevalence of the male gaze in art. This traveling exhibition will be accompanied by a selection of artworks by female artists depicting men that is drawn from the permanent collection of The Kinsey Institute.
Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze was organized by Karen Gutfreund, Priscilla Otani, and Brenda Oelbaum for the Women’s Caucus for Art with Tanya Augsburg, Assistant Professor, San Francisco State University, as Juror. Prior to coming to Bloomington, it was shown at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco.
An opening reception will be held at The Kinsey Institute on Friday, April 13, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be provided.
A panel discussion, A Dialog with the Artists on Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze, will be held prior to the show opening, April 13, from 4:00 to 5:00, in Morrison 007 (ground floor).

Size Matter Exhibition at Gallery 25
Peninsula Women’s Caucus for Art - Art Exhibition, Size Matters
Exhibition May 11 through July 6, 2012 at
the Avenue 25 Gallery, San Mateo.
Public reception on Saturday, May 12, from 2-4 pm.
Gallery
hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9 am to 5 pm.
This event is free
and open to the public.
The theme, Size
Matters, was
selected by the group to create large artwork that would stimulate audience
reaction; women are many times stereotyped as makers of small works of
art. Viewers will discover
that the artists have made great strides to disprove this idea through the
creation of their art. The works on display cover a broad range of media,
including painting and mixed media.
Alysanne
McGaffey’s Easter Morning: The Rollicking Hills of Half Moon Bay is the last in her big oil series
of sites along Highway One, Skyline Drive and Highway 280 – all in San Mateo
County. Alysanne says, “The
elements dance and swirl about.
Clouds, trees and hills become animated forms of color and light.”
Nancee
McDonell made a collage using colors and shapes that reflect her thoughts that size DOES matter. “The definition of the word size
pertains to a measurement. I am aware of how much
in our world and life cannot be measured, an act of kindness, an appreciation
of something beautiful. Size is important in many aspects of our life. It's a
balancing act for us.”
Included
in the exhibit is an acrylic and tissue paper on canvas art by Rebecca Lambing
who says, “The size of our imaginations can surpass anything in our line of
vision, creating beauty and unexpected worlds.”
