This important and timely book offers the unique opportunity to look at contemporary art enriched by a multicultural experience and framed by a shared Arab identity. The work of 18 Arab women artists from around the world is collected together for the first time, challenging western stereotyping of the women's role in Arab society to brilliantly illustrate how women experience and question their lives as integral to the Arab diaspora. In Contemporary Arab Women's Art, curators and scholars focus our attention on women working in an international arena as yet little known to the average art observer. By engaging us in a cross-cultural dialogue we not only grasp the diversity of the Arab experience today but also the fresh perspective that each artist brings to key issues in contemporary art.

It is present in domains ranging from language, literature, and cinema to social and political life. This refreshing and thought-provoking collection of essays will prove invaluable for researchers and students.

Consuming Bodies explores the themes of sex and consumerism in contemporary Japanese art and how they connect with the wider historical, social, and political conditions in Japanese culture. Essays by writers, historians, curators, and artists, plus diary extracts of a sex worker, engage with a range of artistic practices, including performance, digital media, painting, sculpture, and installation. Together the contributors examine the contradictions and ambivalences embedded in the Japanese experience of modernity, and the effects of commodification on the individual and the nation-state. Sex and consumerism in the art are inextricably linked to issues of power, gender, class, and race, and move beyond the gallery into private and public realms, where the complex relationships surrounding sexuality and commerce are directly encountered in both the fast-changing marketplace and in the dominant ideologies within Japanese society.

Fran Lloyd was born in the United Kingdom.
Fran studied the History of Art at the University of Manchester, specializing in modern and contemporary art.
Fran Lloyd is Professor of Art History, Director of the Visual and Material Culture Research Centre, and Associate Dean for Research and Enterprise in the Faculty of Art, Design, and Architecture at Kingston University.
Her first book, Deconstructing Madonna (1993), examined the rock star as an icon of contemporary culture. The collection of essays looks not only at the arc of Madonna's career, but also at the music industry of the 1980s and 1990s, and then investigates issues of sexuality and control that the singer raises on her records and videos.
With the 1999 Contemporary Arab Women's Art: Dialogues of the Present, Lloyd edits a gathering of essays on the occasion of a touring exhibition of eighteen Arab women artists, while in Secret Spaces, Forbidden Places (2000), edited with Catherine O'Brien, she turns her attention to taboo in art and literature. In Displacement and Difference: Contemporary Arab Visual Culture in the Diaspora (2001), Lloyd gathers the writing of scholars, critics, curators, and artists to look at how Arab artists in exile and immigration in Britain and the United States express Arab identities.
Lloyd examines sexuality in Japan in her 2002 gathering of eight writings, Consuming Bodies: Sex and Contemporary Japanese Art. Artists discussed included BuBu, Mariko Moil, Hiroshi Masuyama, Yoshido Shimada, and Takashi Murakami, in a discussion of artworks from Edo period wood-blocks to contemporary fiberglass sculptures and the manga cartoon tradition.
She is currently researching émigré artists in postwar Britain and is co-leading a research project on the history, practice, and pedagogy of Kingston School of Art, London.
Fran Lloyd is widely recognized as a prolific author, who has published widely on modern and contemporary art in Britain. She has over 15 years experience of collaborating on a variety of international interdisciplinary creative arts projects across the museums and galleries sector.
