In bringing together these influences, Friedman mines the space between visceral and intellectual experiences of the body to consider the ways in which our physical forms shape our understanding of being human and our desire to transcend those limits. On view through July 10 at Art@Bainbridge. Read more about Friedman in Artnet.      Campus Art Outdoor Walking Tours Saturdays and Sundays, 2 p.m.   Princeton University is home to one of the country’s most significant collections of twentieth- and twenty-first-century public sculpture.
