Please Touch: Body Boundaries

Please Touch: Body Boundaries is a large exhibition of more than fifty artists who reference the body to illuminate conceptions of identity, femininity, and the gaze. 

Please Touch: Body Boundaries is an examination of the breast and the body as motifs used by artists to illuminate different gazes and experiences. The exhibition includes contemporary art dating from the 1960s through 2018, presenting works that examine questions of identity and sexuality, expectations and presumptions, and role playing. Featuring a close look at breastfeeding and motherhood, Please Touch: Body Boundaries engages with today’s climate of accusations, denials, bodies, and borders through work that is sensual, exhilarating, painful, confusing, sexual, and vulgar.
