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.

Presented by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies as one of two major parallel exhibitions at SAIC Galleries this fall. Together, the exhibitions speak to the continued resonance of the body by illustrators and artists as a critical presence, conveyor, and social marker of identity within culture.
