“SPONTANEOUS BLEEDING” NEXT MTSU WOMEN’S STUDIES LECTURE MTSU Professor Examines Female Eroticism from Diversity of Perspectives

(MURFREESBORO) – Cindy Rehm, assistant professor of art at MTSU, will present “Spontaneous Bleeding: The Performative Video Works of Cindy Rehm,” the latest lecture in the Fall 2007 Women’s Studies Research Series, at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, in Room 100 of MTSU’s James Union Building. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Rehm will present and discuss a selection of her video works, which explore female identity, eroticism and hysteria.
“The works express visceral manifestations of female desire through private acts of ritual,” Rehm says. “The images oscillate between the beautiful and the grotesque and aim to diversify the erotic possibilities of the female body.” For more information on the Women’s Studies Research Series, contact Dr. Jane Marcellus at 615-898-5282 or jmarcell@mtsu.edu, or contact the Women’s Studies office at 615-898-5910 or womenstu@mtsu.edu.
