\"Budapest,
Budapest, Hungary, 2006 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Photographer Jennette Williams, winner of the 2008 Center for Documentary Studies\/Honickman First Book Prize in Photography, will speak about her recent work, which centers on women in the ancient communal bathhouses of Budapest and Istanbul. A selection of these photographs have been gathered for “The Bathers: Photographs by Jennette Williams,” currently on view in the Special Collections Gallery through 13 December, 2009. Her book, The Bathers<\/em>, will be published this month by Duke University Press<\/a> in association with the Center for Documentary Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These stunning platinum prints of women bathers\u2014which draw on gestures and poses found in iconic paintings of nude women, such as those of C\u00e9zanne and Ingres\u2014take us inside spaces intimate and public, austere and sensuous. Over a period of eight years, Williams photographed, without sentimentality or objectification, women daring enough to stand naked before her camera. Young and old, these women inhabit and display their bodies with comfort and ease.<\/p>\n

Williams is a photography instructor at the School of Visual Arts<\/a> in New York City. She has a master\u2019s degree from Yale University and has been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship and grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts.<\/p>\n

Copies of The Bathers<\/em> will be available for purchase and signing at the event. The quad in front of Duke Chapel has been reserved for parking. Additional parking is available in the parking deck behind the Bryan Center (view campus map<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
