There is a collection of pieces from the Whitney Museum going on right now called 'Skin is a Language.'

From the pamphlet:

'The largest organ of the human body, skin is also the one with which we are most intimate, even as it presents the exterior to our self to the world. This exhibition, selected from the Whitney's permanent collection, explores how artists invoke skin, literally, metaphorically, to examine a diverse array of social and cultural phenomena. Among the themes the works address: skin as an index of indentity; skin as a location of a disguise, a permeable boundary, and a tactile surface; skin as a site for cultural inscription and libidinal pleasure; and skin as an exchange point between the interior and exterior. This presentation of sculpture, drawing, photography, and prints features works by Bruce Conner, Nancy Grossman, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eva Hesse, Roni Horn, Jasper Johns, Annette Lemieux, Glenn Ligon, Catherine Opie, David Wojnarowicz, and Lebbeus Woods.'

Catherine Opie has a whole series of self portrait cutting photographs, the Whitney only displays one in the exhibit.
