The Nude in an Urban Environment: An exhibition curated by =AlexandraB24
Running from 28th March to 10th April, 2011
As a counter-point to the Nude in the Landscape exhibition we are presenting the Nude in an Urban Environment - an exhibition which allows an exploration of a different set of aesthetics. These are some of the points that immediately jump up:
- the figure in such man-made environments often stands in stark counter-point to their surroundings, rather than exemplifying and reinforcing them
- nudity in the urban setting is often... assertive... an expression of defiance and power rather than a reflection of the sublime
- the "natural" figure in a "made" environment can express a feeling of dehumanization, of humanity being consumed by its creations
Between the two of us we have found some images that might serve to "whet the appetite" (as it were). Feel free to suggest more, we will be happy to include your suggestions.
