利哈伊谷's 德隆画廊 to host 'Fluidity of Gender' exhibit this fall

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Penn State 利哈伊谷’s 罗纳德·K. 德隆画廊 will bring renowned artist Linda Stein’s thought-provoking exhibit, “Fluidity of Gender,” to the region this fall.

The exhibit will run Aug. 29日至12月. 3 in the gallery. On Thursday, Oct. 13, the gallery will host an artist webinar by Stein and virtual gallery tour from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.

Part of the New York City-based HAWT (Have 艺术: Will Travel!)收集, the multimedia “Fluidity of Gender” exhibition consists of sculpture, 拼贴画, prints and video created by Stein, who through her art strives to broaden awareness and inspire empathy by presenting gender multiplicities and diversities in her work.

By addressing body image, Stein said she wants the viewer to become more familiar with — and even self-conscious about — society’s destructive focus on oversimplified gender boxes for human expression and identity. 为此目的, she melds and scrambles the continuum between “masculinity” and “femininity” to help collapse these gender binaries.

It all fits the overall mission of HAWT, which Stein founded in 1972 as a means of inspiring social change, equality and diversity efforts via its exhibitions, 讲座, performances and educational programs.

PSU-LV Gallery Director and 艺术s Coordinator Ann Lalik said she is excited to bring such a provocative and important exhibit to the campus and the local community.

“We are honored to exhibit Linda’s work this semester,” Lalik said. “她的消息, and the way she communicates it, offer wonderful opportunities for conversation and dialogue that will be invaluable for our students and the greater 利哈伊谷 community.”
