" Independent Visions/Feminist Perspectives" Exhibition
Baruch College/Sidney Mishkin Gallery
This event has ended.
A dozen contemporary artists are presented in this exhibition of women whose work, while broadly feminist, is neither didactic nor loaded with female imagery.
Artists who worked outside the women’s organizations of the late 1960s and 70s, these women nonetheless produced challenging, innovative work that explored history, identity and shifting perceptions of bodily forms and gestures.
As a group, Nina Yankowitz, Susan Crile, Cynthia Eardley, Ellen K. Levy, Judy Pfaff and Cindy Sherman and the other artists in this exhibition represent the pluralism and hybrid styles that prevail in today’s art world. Along with the use of mixed media, the artists’ subjects range from the distinct and individual – Ida Applebroog’s “photogenetic” portraits of Tobias – to the panoramic – Susan Crile’s powerful Firestorm, a depiction of the oil field fires of Kuwait at the end of the Persian Gulf War.
