Alan Labb is an Assistant Professor in Photography and Director of Technology Planning at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Labb undermines many characterizations of masculinity, articulating the fear and anxiety men have concerning their own bodies, while simultaneously positing the threat that female sexuality has historically posed to patriarchal culture. For the past fifteen years, he has been challenging the media-constructed image of male sexuality and masculinity.
