Kinsey Institute Open House

11:00 am to 02:00 pm
The Kinsey Institute
http://www.kinseyinstitute.org

The Kinsey Institute is holding an Open House from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, in Morrison Hall on the Indiana University campus. This event coincides with The Kinsey Institute Juried Art Show 2015 at the Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University. This exhibition will open Friday, May 15 and continue through Saturday, July 11. An opening reception for the Juried Art Show will be held on Friday, May 15, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Grunwald Gallery in the Fine Arts Building. The Kinsey Institute has two art exhibits: Secret Impressions: The Mass Production of Erotica Prior to the Camera The Kinsey Institute art and library collections contain thousands of examples of erotic imagery produced over centuries by artists around the world. Secret Impressions presents a selection of lithographs, engravings, etchings and woodblock prints from the mid-19th century and earlier. These artworks from France, England, Italy, Germany, Holland, and Japan illustrate the means by which pornographic and erotic images were mass produced before the invention of the camera. Wealthy collectors could commission paintings, but others could purchase prints at a lower cost. Hold That Pose: Erotic Imagery in 19th Century Photography Once photography was invented in the 1830s, it quickly became a popular medium for depictions of the nude figure, as well as erotic imagery. The first photographic process to become widespread was the daguerreotype, which produced a unique image. With the invention of a process that used a negative to make multiple photographs, the mass production of erotic images became possible. Hold That Pose features daguerreotypes, tintypes, albumen and gelatin silver prints, stereocards, and other examples of photographic processes that were used in the 19th century by professional photographers to produce and distribute erotic material. You also have the opportunity to see a beautiful display of artifacts from The Kinsey Institute’s library and archives; research posters; and historical photographs of Dr. Kinsey, Kinsey staff and early pioneers in the field of sexuality; and other pieces of artwork.
