Naomi Salaman

Salaman curated the exhibition What She Wants: Women Artists Look at Men in 1994, which presented a collection of female artists exploring the gendered gaze by taking male nude photography. The work has been regarded as a good example of how the gendered gaze can support a change in power relations.^[3] Barbara Bickel found that the exhibition was one of few examples where women artists used male bodies in their practices to expose sexual desire and pleasure.^[4] This touring photographic exhibition has been regarded as a crucial exhibition on "how women looked at men".^[5]

Salaman's work, Changed Press Marks of the Private Cases (2001), was exhibited alongside ten artists in the Potential: Ongoing Archive, curated by Anna Harding in the John Hansard Gallery of the University of Southampton.^[6] Salaman used microfilm to record archivist cards related to private cases in the British Library. The library believed some materials were not suitable for public access and therefore kept them away in private cases. The photographed cards traced how archivists gradually removed the ban from some books.^[7]
