Academic Symposium: From Portraits to Pin-ups: Representations of Women in Art and Popular Culture
Saturday, May 14, 2011
11:30 am–6 pm
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor
In conjunction with the exhibition Lorna Simpson: Gathered, this symposium will explore the implications of female artists using images of women in their work, the relationship between popular culture and fine art, connections between women’s history and contemporary art, perceptions of race and gender, and representations of beauty. Dr. Wendy Steiner will speak on concepts of beauty, a panel of graduate students will present current research, and a panel discussion with comedian Erica Watson, drag king Shelly Mars, and illustrator Molly Crabapple will follow.
