Engendering an avant-garde is the first book to comprehensively
examine the origins of Vancouver photo-conceptualism in its
regional context between 1968 and 1990. Employing discourse
analysis of texts written by and about artists, feminist critique
and settler-colonial theory, the book discusses the historical
transition from artists' creation of 'defeatured landscapes'
between 1968-71 to their cinematographic photographs of the late
1970s and the backlash against such work by other artists in the
late 1980s. It is the first study to provide a structural account
for why the group remains all-male. It accomplishes this by
demonstrating that the importation of a European discourse of
avant-garde activity, which assumed masculine social privilege and
public activity, effectively excluded women artists from
membership. -- .
