SAIC Galleries, 33 E. Washington St.

Style is the Body Thinking is a group exhibition of international artists curated for SAIC Galleries by Crown Family Professor in Painting and Drawing Michelle Grabner. The exhibition examines the social and aesthetic affordances of style and figuration from the 1960s to the present, addressing style’s relationship to identity, power, labor, resistance, taste, the body, technology, and affect. Together, the exhibitions speak to the continued resonance of the body as a critical presence, conveyor, and social marker of identity within culture.
