Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Robot women exhibit

 

Dear All,

I am a professor and very new to the museum world. This summer I
produced an exhibit titled "Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and
Electronic Eves" which was  first hosted by the New York Hall of Science
in Queens. The exhibit features large digital images of artificial women
that seem alive, as seen in art, photography, films, television, and
video games-including an eighteenth-century female automaton, Lara
Croft, The Stepford Wives,and today's Japanese female  robots that look
so real they can easily fool the eye. 

The images are accompanied by detailed wall texts, and the exhibit is an
outgrowth of my book Women and the Machine: Representations From the
Spinning Wheel to the Electronic Age (Johns Hopkins Univ. Press). 

My question to you is this: I am trying to find other venues for this
exhibit and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I am also
wondering whether this type of exhibit sounds like it is best for a
science museum or whether it  might also be of interest to art galleries
and other types of exhibit spaces. 

Thanks very much for your help.
