  • Why There Are Great Women Artists in Ukrainian Art
    УДК 75-055.2(477)=111 Published on the occasion of the exhibition Ж72 “A Space of One’s Own” and within the framework of the PinchukArtCentre Research Platform Why There Are Great Women Artists in Ukrainian Art. — К. : Publish Pro, 2019. — 224 p. ISBN 978-617-7765-07-2 The book Why There Are Great Women Artists in Ukrainian Art marks one of the first attempts to tell the history of Ukrainian art through the lens of gender, covering the period from the end of the 19th century to the artistic experiments of the early 21st century. This story is made up of unknown pages from biographies of Ukrainian female artists, where one can see the names of those who have been forgotten or remain little known to the general public along with those of the key figures of Ukrainian art. The book shows how the possibilities of creative self-fulfillment by female and male artists changed over time, how the artists overcame the obstacles on the way to professional recognition, and how the awareness of bodily experience was transformed in their work. The archival documents dealing with the role and place of women in art, which we have collected, are particularly valuable. This book is not recommended for minors.

    Transfigurations.'Documents and lmagesfrom ContemporaryFeminist Art frorn NYFAIReflections Exhibit, 1985 October14, 1996to January16, 1gg7 SpecialCollections and UniversityArchives Gallery ArchibaldStevens Alexander Library Introduction Transfigurations:Documents antl Image.rfrom ContemporatyFeminisi Art is one of three exhibitions celebratingthe twenty-fifth anniversaryof the Mary H. Dana Women Ariists Series at tlre Mabel Smith DouglassLibrary. It is being held in conjunctionwith Twent,v-JiveYears of Feminism, TwenN-fiveYears of lt/omen'sArt, a retrospectiveof works by the artists who have shown in the series,at the Mason GrossSchool of the Arts Galleries,and an exhibition of the arfists' portraits and statementsat the Mabel Smith DouglassLibrary. Contemporaryfeminist art originatedin about1970, inspired by the Women'sl,iberation N{ovementwhich was sweepingthe country at this time. Women artistsbegan to focus on the fact that so ferv women were representedin gallery and museum shows, not to mention the exclusionof rvomenartists from the art history canon. Furthermore,very felv women taught on the facultiesof art schools,in spiteof the fact thatthe majorityof art studentswere women. In the early 1970s,women artistsand acti,ristsaddressed these issues through demonstrations at muserunsand exposingthe practicesof galleriesand art schools.Originally dcminated by white women,the movementeventually encompassed the concernsof African-American,Hispanic and otherminoriry rvomenartists, Feministartists sought more, however, than equal representation. They believedthat their art could help bring aboutsocial and politicalchange. The porverof art to changethe self and societyis the tansfigurationto which the exhibition'stitle refers. Feministartists introduced both new subject matter and formats in their work, which, unlike the critically-validated Modernistart of the period,was heavily content-based.Although feministart was extremelv diverse,certain broad themes are apparent,the most universalbeing the use of autobiography.

  • 116 January 30-March 26, 2017 Pannell Gallery Sweet Briar College
    116 January 30-March 26, 2017 On 9 February 1901 the Commonwealth of Virginia granted a corporation charter to Sweet Briar Institute. One hundred and sixteen years later, having rejuvenated herself after the near-closure crisis of 2015, Sweet Briar College is poised for growth and an exciting future. The exhibition on view, “116”, was conceived as a way to mark the two-year anniversary of the wrenching announcement but also, more importantly, to celebrate the College’s renewal and to look forward with a firm understanding of those 116 years. To that end, the exhibition displays 116 objects, a collective testimony to the community’s foundational excellence and lively spirit. With two exceptions—a book of board minutes borrowed from the Office of the President, and a photograph borrowed from Cochran Library archives— everything on view is selected from the College’s permanent art collection or the holdings of the Sweet Briar Museum. On the side walls artworks tell the story of the art collection’s growth in terms of the styles and subjects chosen, the artists selected, and the media included. A visitor will note an early emphasis on traditional painting and innocuous subjects such as landscape, and reliance on well-known male artists in acquisitions up to the 1980s. For the past quarter-century, though, the collection’s curators and patrons have turned their vision firmly to the work of modern and contemporary women and have been unafraid of bringing works into the collection that deal with feminism, racism, sexual orientation, and the sweep of human tragedy.
