Donald Kuspit, University Distinguished Professor of Art History and Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and contributing editor at Artforum, will illustrate the tensions between the phallic and the womanly that characterize Bourgeois's work and use these tensions to interpret the artist's understanding of the nature of the female body and the character of female selfhood.
