I have been posting a lot of videos for this week, a little change from the usual webpages of article/artists. This exhibition entitled “Through Feminist Eyes” made possible through the University of New Mexico, occurred a little over two months ago. Judy Chicago and Meinrad Craighead actually juried the exhibition which is interesting to note. Go ahead and click on the actual university
website and look over the winning pieces. Then click on the
video of the actual exhibit. I’m sorry that it’s so loud and hard to hear at times, but take from it what you can. There you will see a few of the artists and their pieces. I think this is pretty amazing that they have an actual Feminist Research Institute on campus which is available to faculty, student and graduates and reaches out to other disciplines, such as art. The exhibition also includes some male artists, which proves that men can be just as important as women are in the feminist movement. I really liked Julianne Harvey's "The Nine Muses" and Julia Sapir's "Irene At The Beach." Enjoy!
