Hello all,
Has anyone had a chance to see the exhibition WACK! Art and the Feminist
Revolution?
It just opened at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It is interesting to consider
Verinas question in relation to whether or not gender in art making has become
ossified in time. In the late nineties and into the turn of the century we know
of the rich history of feminist discourse in relation to technology and network
cultures, but did that work connect back and how is it connecting forward?

WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution
The first comprehensive, international survey of a remarkable body of work
that emerged from the dynamic relationship between art and feminism between
1965 and 1980, a time in which a majority of feminist activism and art-making
occurred across the globe. The exhibition brings together the work of 120
artists to examine the international foundations and impact of feminism on art.
WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution is organized by The Museum of
Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The exhibition is curated by Connie Butler, the
Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings at The Museum of Modern
Art, New York.
