Miami, FL (November 24, 2014) — December 2-7, Black Book Gallery will present an installation by conceptual artist Allie Pohl at SCOPE Miami Beach. Featuring life-size sculptures of Pohl's signature Ideal Woman series, the installation will be on view at booth F07. Addressing the social constructs of perfection and the demands made on a woman's body, Pohl's installation shows how these conceptions can be represented by trends in pubic hair. Pohl created the Ideal Woman by digitally enhancing Barbie to fit Western society's ideal female measurements of 36-24-36. The Designer Ideal Woman series is finished in layers of glitter, referencing youth, glamour, and the notion of 'never letting go of your sparkle.' The sculptures have touchable muffs which show the evolution of the bikini line—or the evolving trend of shrinking pubic hair—influenced by the infiltration of porn culture and the increased demand for hairless vaginas.
