Peep Show

Andy Warhol's Polaroids

Spring has sprung, and that means warmer weather and less clothes. If the prospect of ogling bared flesh at the neighborhood park creeps you out, take a more highbrow approach and check out the thought-piquing new show at Reed College's Cooley Gallery. Scarecrow: Exhibitionism, Ritual and Theatricality examines the wildly differing ways artists have dealt with the exposing and hiding of the human body in all its glory and ignominy. From the heady rush of desire, hard muscles and soft curves to the indignities of aging, our bodies are mined for all they're worth by artists Daniel Spoerri, Lynda Benglis, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Mary Bauermeister and Sol LeWitt. Many of these artists made their most challenging work during the 1950s and 1960s, when attitudes about nudity and sexuality were undergoing unprecedented flux. More than 100 original Polaroids by Andy Warhol—chronicling his friends' shoes, faces, torsos and derrieres—are among the highlights of the show, curated by Stephanie Snyder.
