| Last Thursday night at Cheim & Read Gallery at 547 West 25th Street in Chelsea they opened a new exhibition: The Female Gaze, a group exhibition of women artists depicting the female form. With this premise, the show seeks to present a collection of works which reclaim the traditional domination of the “male gaze” and reorient the significance of the female figure to allow for more varied interpretations. A variety of mediums are shown – sculpture, photography, video, painting and installation. |

| According to its curators, “This exhibition attempts to debunk the notion of the male gaze by providing a group of works in which the artist and subject do not relate as 'voyeur' and 'object,' but as woman and woman. It would be interesting to ask the question how we would feel about the works in the exhibition if we were told they were made by a man.” |
