Deadline for entry of work into the 2001 event is February 16th. The social and psychological experience of gender in contemporary Islamic society is explored in this powerful, poetic media installation. Two opposing projections present men and women kept apart but locked in a balance of polarities. This exhibition of photographs by Joel-Peter Witkin explores the strands of aesthetic tradition mirrored in his work. Known best for the grotesque use of the figure, Witkin also draws upon traditions as varied as the still life or memento mori , the set-up studio shot of the Victorian portrait or voluptuous figure, and that of the Mexican practice of photographing deceased infants placed in the context and costume of angelitos .
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise stated.
The ASU Art Museum Nelson Fine Arts Center Facility is located on the corner of Mill Avenue and 10th Street in Tempe. There is a parking structure and visitor parking lot at the end of 10th Street and Myrtle Avenue.
