The Collection

THE COLLECTION uses movement vocabulary that is entirely appropriated from paintings, sculptures, and photographs of 'nudes' throughout art history and moves as a sliding landscape of classical and contemporary depictions of the human form. To be naked is to be one's self; to be nude is to be seen naked by others, implying an awareness of being seen. Featuring Levi Gonzales and Hristoula Harakas, viewers are aware of the subtleties within the nude form, some natural and unapologetic about their nakedness and others representational as if in view of a spectator.
