Barbara Hammer: In This Body<\/h2>\n

June 1 \u2013 August 11, 2019, the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University, USA, debuts the exhibition, Barbara Hammer: In This Body<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

‘In a career spanning over 50 years, Hammer has been best known for daring depictions of lesbian life and sexuality. Barbara Hammer: In This Body<\/em> continues her ongoing interest in the female body and captures the full scope of her interdisciplinary practice, with a strong focus on the challenging subjects of illness and mortality. It foregrounds the physical, tactile nature of her work, illuminating the ways in which art can create an empathic, collective experience.’ – Wexner Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is curated by Jennifer Lange.<\/p>\n
