SHE @ White Plains Public Library

SHE @ White Plains Public Library reflects on what it means to be a woman in contemporary America. In an age that so heavily emphasizes “the self,” SHE examines the idea that gender identity is constant balancing act between expected societal norms and self-definition. The exhibiting artists eloquently and humorously engage with themes of self-presentation, a woman’s “proper space”, and feminine personas. The show is comprised of two Westchester-based artists, Margaret Fox and Lea Weinberg, who both tackle the notion of modern womanhood in their artwork.  From Fox’s colorful photos of the rough and tough roller derby girl persona to Weinberg’s contemplative wire mesh sculptural reliefs, the viewers are presented with two very different views of the modern woman that combine show how diverse and ever changing the female identity has become in our contemporary society.

SHE @ White Plains Public Library will be on view for the public from April 2, 2016-May 22, 2016 at the White Plains Public Library.
