Influenced by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Lake's work demonstrates the innovation and continued influence of the 'Feminist Avant-Garde' movement on contemporary art today. Lake's work forms part of the public collection at the Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY as well as within numerous museums and galleries across Canada. Her work has been exhibited widely, including in the US at Jack Shainman Gallery, New York; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; Geffen Contemporary, Los Angeles; National Museum of Women in Art, DC and Santa Monica Museum of Art, California. This multi-author publication considers how Lake's ideas and practice developed over time from her hometown of Detroit to Montreal to Toronto, informed by the cultural character of each city. Featuring celebrated works as well as newly commissioned series, Introducing Suzy Lake reveals the richness and originality of her accomplishments as one of North America's most influential artists working today.
Hundreds of years of ridicule, persecution, erasure, misunderstanding, and institutionalization could put anyone in a bad mood. Killjoy invites you into her kastle for a queer exorcism and celebration of the past. Lesbian feminist histories can have a haunting effect on the present. This book explores the making and experience of Killjoy's Kastle, an immersive walk-through installation and performance artwork (by Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue). Inspired by Evangelical Christian hell houses, the exhibition has been staged in four cities so far - Toronto, London, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia - engaging thousands in interactive encounters with the spirits that haunt feminist and queer history. Where traditional hell houses set out to scare and convert, Killjoy's Kastle cheekily aims to provoke and pervert. Inside Killjoy's Kastle extends and reflects on the theoretical and political legacies of the installation in chapters by queer and feminist scholars and in vignettes by participating artists. The many colourful photos in the book also bring the kastle to life, offering an important visual context.
Feminist thought, action and practice are always dynamic, in a state of change. Theories and ideas from second-wave feminism are now shaping the theories and ideas of a third-wave. Younger women coming to the women's movement today have a lot to say about feminism. And they want to say it in their own way. Turbo Chicks is an energetic collection of prose, poetry, theoretical explorations, zines and photo essays. The contributors come from all walks of life, different ages and experiences, sexual orientations, social and cultural backgrounds. Together their pieces build a conversation that is vital to hear. They present issues that feminists struggle with everywhere: how to put convictions into practice, how to talk about race, class, education, ability, sexuality and the privileging of voice. Each contributor identifies ten people who have influenced her and provides her own definition of feminism that broadens the dialogue. The collection is organized into four sections. "My First Feminism" explores the meaning of feminism to different women. "What's Big and Hairy: Expanding Identity" explores the multiple identities of sexuality, physical representation/fashion, weight and body image and creative expression. In "Schooling Feminisms" contributors open the theoretical dialogue and formulate questions that stretch and reshape feminist theories. Finally, "Fun Feminist Activities" looks at the activism of feminists in the broader women's movement. Contributors share their insights into where they think feminism is going and its possible directions. Turbo Chicks is the bridge that connects what is and what will be, clearly and powerfully demonstrating that feminist thought is dynamic, meaningful and enduring.
