About the Show “The body is not a thing, it is a situation.” – Simone de Beauvoir In Anatomy of Me, a group of young artists consider the range of physical, mental, and emotional states of the individual. Working in a variety of approaches, these artists explore various ways of representing the external and internal self, and the possible interpretations of such images. The resulting work is a combination of self-examination and observation of the outside world. The works invite the viewer to undergo the same examination of their own existence and this existence within the current place and time.
