EXPOSING THE GAZE / Exposing the Gaze: Gender and Sexuality in Art was curated by the students in Professor Kimberly Lamm's women's studies course Gender, Sexuality, and the Image. For the exhibition, each student chose a work from the Nasher Museum’s permanent collection that "resists the viewer’s gaze, often through its blatant acknowledgement."
