Response to (obvious?) missing category vs. political "correctness"

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
Shawn, perhaps a few "adult" type catagories would be appropriate. That would take care of any accidental exposure . Rest assured trib and I (amongst others) will be sure to make it hot for any misogynists masquerading as Arteests.

The politics and psychology of the human figure in art is one of my favorite topics of discussion and favorite forms of art. I am continually disappointed by the lack of a badly needed forum to address this important subject; the rendering of the human form in the twenty first century.

A friend has a show opening at the Blue Milk Gallery in Atlanta that is all B&W figure studies of women with eating disorders, I'd like to be able to encourage her to post an image here for discussion, but current rules disallow that possibility. In particular I'd like you to participate in that discussion. Working in the fashion industry puts you squarely in the middle of these issues. (take that!) see ya... t

Suggested catagories might be lifted from William Ewings excellent book "The Body": Fragments, Figures, Probes, Flesh, Prowess, Eros, Estrangement, Mirrors, Politics, Metamorphosis, and Mind. You would enjoy the book... t
