I still think that perhaps she's the show's Ur-art project: a woman who at once aggressively invites the male gaze and desperately tries to defuse it. Yawn.<br /><br />Adriane ~ Many thanks for the link to the Field piece. I think I've seen this poem referenced in a few film studies-focused riffs on the gaze, but I'd never actually read it. You'd think that with more than a century's worth of thoughtful, critical engagement with the phenomenon, Jaclyn could come up with more than guerrilla snapshots of men (probably) checking out their own manscaped reflections in the window. <br /><br />In the hands of a more intellectually adroit artist, the mise en abyme effect created by the funhouse mirrors could have been drafted in the service of a potentially interesting critique of contemporary regimes of looking, but that, I suppose, would have required more than a Gentleman's C in Art Theory 101.Huzzah!

Jaclyn is about as original and fresh as Betamax. I kinda want to hit her. The only artistestant who manages to annoy me more is Miles and his faux overwhelmed by life schtick.<br />I have to go negate the male gaze now.
