 ou\, Nijal Munankarmi\, Michael Scogin\, and Brandi Alyson Simpson. TCU art
 ists include Alfredo “Freddy” Ortega\, Raul Rodriguez\, Eli Ruhala\, and La
 uren Walker. \n \nEmbodiment: The Personal and Universal Body highlights th
 e paradoxical nature of the body in art. Contemporary artists consider how 
 highly personal\, tangible moments are mediated through the body. While a l
 ived moment is unique to the subject\, human experience is universal. Throu
 gh the exploration of the body\, this selection of work considers shared co
 ncerns of memory\, conflict\, history\, belonging\, and relationships as fu
 ndamental to human embodiment. As a universal medium\, the body is largely 
 taken for granted. It is not until one is confronted with the complexities 
 of human existence— emotional\, mental\, physical\, and spiritual elements—
  that the human form is fully appreciated. In this exhibition\, the notion 
 of embodiment is considered through three lenses: the fragmented body\, the
  archived body\, and the metaphorical body.\n \nThe fragmented body reveals
  the idiosyncrasies of human experience\, highlighting the complex interrel
 ationship of parts of the body to the whole. It allows viewers to question 
 the monolithic nature of the body by investigating experiences related to p
 articular sites within the human form. Meanwhile\, the archived body consid
 ers how artists memorialize the body through image and text as both a metho
 d of preservation of and negotiation with the past. In this section\, the b
 ody becomes an archive and reimagines itself through the archives. It becom
 es subject to revisitation and evolution through artistic intervention and 
 interpretation. The metaphorical body explores the way in which artists use
  objects and symbols as supplements for their own human subjectivity. It is
  in paradoxical removal of the body that one becomes acutely aware of its r
 ole in enabling one’s own humanity.\n\nMoudy Gallery is located in Moudy No
 rth Building TCU’s Campus\, 2805 S. University Dr.\, Fort Worth. Gallery Ho
 urs are Monday - Friday\, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.\, Saturday 1-4 p.m. and by appoint
 ment. Admission is free.
