Exhibit boasts bodies of work
"My boobs are more beautiful!" "No, my boobs are way better!" What a great argument. I wish all girls could debate like that instead of staring at MTV and wishing they could trade bodies with some over worked and over primped shell of a celebrity. "V-Day is an organization aimed to fight violence against women," Britta Bene '05 explained. "Violence not only in a physical sense but body image and what the media can do."

Art Scene: Sarah surveys Portland galleries
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Yes, I love naked people in art!" Well don't we all, but you won't find it here, or at least not entirely.

June Fitzpatrick writes in her description of the show, "All works chosen exemplify states of exposure and vulnerability or are in themselves naked or bare or stripped down." Some of the subjects of the work reveal naked bodies, while other pieces reveal a side of the artist that is usually concealed, such as sketches or plans for a larger work. This concept breaks down the idea of what naked means. The artist can expose him or herself through revealing a side of his or her work not normally shown, or can just reveal good old fashioned flesh.
