After all the emailing and running around to meetings, I give you my final and last update on our upcoming show. What I'm going to show you is the final curatorial proposal.

Curatorial Statement
In the 21st century, people have their own ideas of how they want to look like, try to look like, and realizations of how they actually look like. With new advances in technology, the hope for new physical appearances can become reality via tattooing, changing eye color, intensive cosmetic surgery, and/or body modification. This controversial issue affects our ideas about "beauty" and "human" and often surfaces in contemporary art issues. The "REvulsion" explores the negatives of body reconstruction, as well the new "norm" for how body images are perceived.

The "REvulsion" explores the negatives of body reconstruction, as well the new "norm" for how body images are perceived.
"REvulsion" us curated by Panida Suwannawisut and Rebecca Smith. The focus is on artworks and designs from different art mediums which concentrate on conflicting body images, controversial body issues, and perceptions of the human body from an everyday viewer. Some curiousities, like mutant creatures, fantasy characters, cross dressers, distortion of the form, and prosthetic 'body architects' will be the exhibition highlights.
