"The Mood Back Home: Inspired by Womanhouse" Exhibition
Momenta Art
This event has ended.
The Mood Back Home developed from discussions between two artists/new mothers, Leslie Brack and Suzy Spence, about the landmark project Womanhouse, created in 1972 by a group of CalArts students and their professors. This project seemed to be an under-appreciated Guernica of domesticity and gender issues. It also held special appeal because it was the product of an era in which the two artists' own mothers undertook a critical negotiation of motherhood, marriage, domestic work, and their careers. Reviewing documentation of the project, Brack and Spence found that the installations"Womb Room" (Faith Wilding),"Menstruation Bathroom" (Judy Chicago), and the all-pink"Kitchen" (Robin Weltsch), with their direct, challenging, feminist voices, still held relevance 36 years later.
