Call for entries - Women Artists

Bodies by Design: Modification, Coercion, and Resistance

A Juried Exhibition of Art by Women

Sponsored by the Koehnline Museum of Art and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Oakton Community College.

Gendered embodiment has always been plastic: we adorn ourselves with piercings and tattoos; bind, confine,

and refine our contours; and learn to move in and out of step with societal expectations. Today, consumer society

places unprecedented pressure on women and men to conform, while the proliferation of subcultures allows for

ever more outrageous inventions and expressions. How do we survive and thrive in these extraordinary times?

When: The exhibit runs October 3 - 25, 2013. A public reception will be held Thursday, October 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. Artists

are encouraged to attend this special event and discuss their work with students, faculty, staff, and community members.

professional artists who have a record of professional exhibitions and are18 years of age or older.
