Exhibition Catalog for ‘Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze’ examines the visibility of men and masculinity from female/feminist/transgender perspectives. In the context of this exhibition, the male figure assumes the historically 'female' role with the male body and its gender expression shown as spectacle for a woman's viewing and contemplation. This truly feminist stance positions the surveyor as critic of traditional gender roles, problematizing notions of 'men,' 'male,' 'masculinity,' 'women' and 'female.’ This is an inclusive show for women and transgender artists to challenge what it means for 'women' to look at 'men.'
