What happens to art when feminism grips the curatorial imagination?
How do sexual politics become realised as exhibits? Is the struggle
against gender discrimination compatible with the aspirations of
museums led by market values? Beginning with the feminist critique
of the art exhibition in the 1970s and concluding with reflections
on intersectional curating and globalisation after 2000, this
pioneering collection offers an alternative narrative of feminism's
impact on art. The essays provide rigorous accounts of developments
in Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe as well as the UK and
US, framed by an introduction which offers a politically engaging
navigation of historical and current positions. Delivered through
essays, memoirs and interviews, discussion highlights include the
Tate Modern hang, relational aesthetics, the global exhibition,
feminism and technology in the museum, the rise of curatorial
collectivism, and insights into major exhibitions such as Gender
Check on Eastern Europe. Bringing together two generations of
curators, artists and historians to rethink distinct and unresolved
moments in the feminist re-modelling of art contexts, this volume
dares to ask: is there a history of feminist art or one of feminist
presentations of artworks? Contributors include Deborah Cherry, Jo
Anna Isaak, Malin Hedlin Hayden, Lubaina Himid, Amelia Jones, Kati
Kivimaa, Alexandra Kokoli, Kuratorisk Aktion, Suzana Milevska,
Suzanne Lacy, Lucy Lippard, Sue Malvern, Nancy Proctor, Bojana
Pejic, Helena Reckitt, Jessica Sjoeholm Skrubbe, Jeannine Tang and
Catherine Wood.
