"Generations and Geographies" collects a unique assembly of
artists, curators, critics and researchers to consider the question
of sexual difference and its significance in the production and
reception of visual representation by women artists."Generations"
indicates a sense of awareness of the historical and political
positioning of women, whereas "Geographies" calls attention to
their location in terms of nationality, imperialism, migration,
exile, diaspora and social difference.
Drawing on the fullest range of current theoretical perspectives,
works by women artists of the twentieth century are examined in
terms of themes such as the mother, the body, the land and
history/memory. While representing artistic practices in the United
States, Canada and Europe through the work of Orlan, Ana Mendieta
and Jenny Saville, "Generations and Geographies" counters the
West's artistic hegemony by equally studying women working in
non-western contexts. Unique coverage of such artists as Chilean
Cecilia Vicuna, Shimada Yoshika from Japan, Jin-me Yoon and Re-Hyun
Park from Korea, Bracha Lichtenberg from Israel, and
British/Zanibari artist Lubiana Himid provides a long awaited
international scope to the study of feminist theory in the visual
arts.
