\n\t\tPhotographs, statements of women span nearly 100 years<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. — February 21, 2007 — The Century Project, an exhibit of photographs by Frank Cordelle, will be displayed March 5 through March 9 at the 溏心vlog免费B站, Memorial Union, Atrium 2, 50 Lower College Road, Kingston. The exhibit, free and open to the public, is presented by 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Body Image Acceptance Committee, an ad hoc group of students and staff. The exhibit will be open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday; and from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Century Project addresses important issues, including the pressure on women to conform to a very thin and unrealistic body type, and the frequent tendency in our society to view women solely in terms of their sexuality. The Century Project addresses these issues in a somewhat unusual way \u2013 the photographer has taken pictures of nude females of a wide range of ages, races, and body types; some have disabilities and others do not. The photographs are accompanied by comments, mostly written by the women themselves, about their feelings about their bodies. <\/p>\n


\nCordelle will serve as an artist-in-residence and participate in four public discussions during the week. His newly released book, Bodies and Souls: The Century Project, will be featured in the March issue of O, the Oprah Magazine. It is the lead-in to its book section, a review of new titles of interest to its readers, and will include four photos from the Project.<\/p>\n


\nThe Century Project has been shown at 35 colleges across the country. This spring Cordelle will be exhibiting at Colgate, Syracuse Universities and the University of Wyoming. Descriptions of project indicate that the exhibit invites and stimulates thought and discussion. <\/p>\n


\nWomen\u2019s bodies undergo radical changes over the course of their lives: from puberty, often to pregnancy, child bearing, nursing, and menopause. The artist\u2019s website states: \u201cYet on the whole we fail to appreciate these immense and profound shifts in women\u2019s biology and rather scrutinize her every body part in pursuit of an impossible ideal based purely on aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tDiscussions with the artist, all open to the public, will be held on the following dates and times:<\/p>\n


\n\u2022 Tuesday, March 6 at noon in Atrium 1, Memorial Union. Lunch provided.

\n\u2022 Wednesday, March 7 at noon in Atrium 1, Memorial Union. Brown Bag lunch.

\n\u2022 Wednesday, March 7 at 7: 30 p.m., panel discussion. ** Gallery, Memorial Union.

\n\u2022 Thursday, March 8 at 5 p.m. in Atrium 1, Memorial Union<\/p>\n


\n**The March 7 panel discussion at 7:30 p.m. will be held in the Memorial Union Gallery, located near the lounge area on the first floor. It is sponsored by 溏心vlog免费B站 Hillel, the R.I. Chapter of Hadassah, and the 溏心vlog免费B站 Chaplains Association. In addition to Cordelle, panel members are Lawrence Grebstein, recently retired 溏心vlog免费B站 professor of psychology; The Rev. Jennifer Phillips, rector of St. Augustine\u2019s Episcopal Church and chair of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Chaplains Association; and Peri Stark, pharmacy student and member of the Body Image Acceptance Committee. 溏心vlog免费B站 Hillel Director Amy Olson will moderate.
