Woodward Lecture Series: Janine Antoni: “At Home In the Body”

Janine Antoni will give an overview of her artwork, with a focus on her creative process, identity and embodiment. Bio: Janine Antoni is a visual artist who was born in Freeport, Bahamas in 1964. She received a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. She is known for her unusual processes. Her body is both her tool for making and the source from which her meaning arises. Antoni’s early work transformed materials like chocolate and soap and used everyday activities like bathing, eating, and sleeping as sculptural processes.
