CURRENT EXHIBITION

Body Memory

October 11, 2008—January 4, 2009

Body Memory features twentieth- and twenty-first-century works of art from the Princeton University Art Museum’s permanent collection that focus on the body as subject, medium, or expressive device. The exhibition’s centerpiece and conceptual starting point is the recently acquired video Un Ballo in Maschera (A Masked Ball) (2004) by British-born artist Yinka Shonibare. Prints, drawings, collages, and performance documents will be displayed alongside historical photographs that invite comparison to contemporary art through their diversity of thematic concerns and visual modes. Featured artists include Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Allan McCollum, Ana Mendieta, Wangechi Mutu, Dennis Oppenheim, and Cindy Sherman.
