Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, Offers New Exhibitions
Performing Gender, a provocative exhibition that explores images associated with male, female and other, is on view in Winthrop University's Rutledge and Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Galleries in Rock Hill, SC. The exhibit will be on view through Mar. 27, 2008. On view in the Edmund D. Lewandowski Student Gallery through Mar. 6, 2008, is the exhibit DVD Invitational. The exhibition features video art works from students in the Department of Design and Department of Fine Arts. Following this exhibit will be the MFA Work in Progress exhibition, on view from Mar. 17 through Apr. 10, 2008.
Art history professor Karen Stock has curated an exhibition Performing Gender that combines a diverse sampling of artwork from around the region with a unified series of photographs, Palimpsest, by Susan Harbage Page. This exhibition addresses works that graphically represent the body and comment on gender identity, specifically the instability of those roles. In Page's Palimpsest series the bodies of the women become living parchment on which they inscribe the unique markings of their own life experiences.
Page received her MFA (photography) from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2004 and is currently a Lecturer and Director of the Allcott Gallery in the Department of Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Some of the other regional artist's works included in the exhibition are John Hill, Juan Logan, Roger Manley, and Barbara Schreiber.
