May Babcock and I (Hannah Campbell) are working on issues of the "gaze" in contemporary painting.
"What does it mean for female painters to be creating work that potentially encourages their own subjugation? May and I will be focusing on issues of the "gaze" in contemporary painting, particularly in the work of Jenny Saville and Lisa Yuskavage."
Depending on the ultimate structure and time available with our material, we may also cover Ghada Amer and John Currin (in relation to Lisa Yuskavage, because he is a male doing the same sorts of paintings but his gender leads to potentially vastly different readings.)
