Following in the footsteps of community, political and identity-driven feminist artists Judy Chicago, The Guerilla Girls, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Saville and Micol Hebron, We Choose Art | A Feminist Perspective 2.0 is a group show that explores the vibrant, creative culture of feminist artists working today. Curated by Art Historian Kristine Schomaker and Curator Baha Danesh the exhibition opens Saturday May 21st 7-11pm at MuzeuMM and also features live performances by Fleur the Tease, Odious Ari, and Eric Czuleger.
Work in the show by Bibi Davidson figuratively yells “It’s none of your business!” and videos by Austin Young emphasize radical authenticity. Daena Title’s paintings reflect the ongoing love/hate relationship between women, social standards and self-esteem, while multi-ethnic sculptor Kimberly Morris examines her position in the diaspora through the lens of beauty. Virginia Broersma uses the human form to disrupt the power structures of the gaze.
Emerging in the late 1960s, women sought to change the conversation in the art world by presenting work that challenged the viewer to see the world from a women’s perspective. Feminist Art seeks equality for women in the social and political landscape.
Participating artists include: Austin Young, Baha Danesh, Bibi Davidson, Bill Pacak, Cathi Milligan, Ching Ching Cheng, Daena Title, Deidre Sullivan-Beeman, Diane Williams, Emilie Carroll, Gianni Arone, Irma Barbosa, Jenifer Yeuroukis, Kimberly Morris, Kristine Schomaker, Lena Moross, Poline Shooshani, Sheli Silverio, Victoria Sebanz and more to be announced.
