Artist Lecture #1

 Janine Antoni

Janine Antoni is a contemporary artist who mainly focuses on the idea of process.  She uses her body, hair, eyelashes, and even mouth as tools to perform these everyday acts to create her work.  Many of her works express not only process, but materiality, the body, her art historical background, and cultural perceptions of women.  Her well known works Gnaw and Love and Care are perfect examples of using her body, or parts of it and the cultural perceptions of women.
