New technologies and innovative use of traditional media have changed the ways in which we view the body—from the Sims to Facebook to Youtube, our lives are inundated with new interpretations of, and uses for, figurative representation. RE: figure will explore the common ground between new and old media representations of the human form, as well as the different uses of figurative representation. The exhibition will feature artists working in a diverse range of media, such as video game screen captures, photography, sculpture, collage, and drawing. The works will show a range of body types, as well as explore different relationships between the artist and his or her subject.
