"Body Mind and Hair" isn't the name of some holistic scrub at Lush — it's the latest in Rowan University Art Gallery's season-long exhibition series dedicated to the body electric. This time, 10 woman artists from the East Coast (New York, Philly) and the West (San Fran) relate the contemporary female experience through sculpture, painting, works on paper, video and photography. Laura Frazure, a UArts professor, leads the charge at Wednesday's reception; she'll be speaking and presenting classical communicative figures that show off formal development. Philadelphia artist Susan Moore's contribution, the epic "Second Skin" series, studies ideas of identity through the tattooed or purposely marked body; dusky color photographer/local transplant Alison Brady offers darkly comic renditions of the unconscious that question what's fantastical and what might be reality; and videographer Kathleen Sweeney happens upon samples of white-clad women under the ocean, lost, virginal and nymph-like.
Opening reception Wed., Oct. 20, 5:30-7 p.m., free, through Nov. 13, Rowan University Art Gallery, 201 Mullica Hill Road, Glassboro, N.J., 856-256-4521, rowan.edu/fpa/artgallery.
