Embedded Metaphor

by Nina Felshin (Editor)

Since the 1980s, with the advent of multiple public crises such as AIDS, homelessness, the politics of sexual identity and abortion rights, the bed has taken on a greater symbolic weight, becoming a pivotal metaphor for the intersection of private and public boundaries. This themed survey includes work by Bob Flanagan, Zoe Leonard and Carrie Mae Weems among others.
