  • The Artpolitics of May Stevens' Work: Disrupting the Distribution of The
    The Artpolitics of May Stevens’ work: disrupting the distribution of the sensible Abstract: In this paper I look into the life and art of May Stevens, an American working class woman, feminist and committed political activist. I am particularly interested in how Steven’s artwork is inextricably interwoven with her politics, constituting, as I will argue an assemblage of artpolitics. The discussion draws on Jacques Rancière’s analyses of the politics of aesthetics and particularly his notion of ‘the distribution of the sensible’. What I argue is that although Rancière’s approach to the politics of aesthetics illuminates an understanding and appreciation of Stevens’ art, his idea about the redistribution of the sensible is problematic. It is here that the notion of artpolitics as an assemblage opens up possibilities for a critical project that goes beyond the limitations of Rancière’s proposition. Key words: aesthetics, artpolitics, distribution of the sensible, narratives, women artists There’s an expression that I’ve used a lot, a quotation from Butler Yeats, who said that you have to choose between ‘perfection of the life, or of the work.’ I refuse to do that. I will not choose. (Hills, 2005: 11) In a series of in-depth conversations with Patricia Hill (2005), American artist May Stevens (1924-) rejects Yates’ suggestion above about the incompatibility of life and art and insists on keeping them together. It is this agonistic project of fusing life into art and art into life that I will discuss in this paper, focusing on a working class artist, feminist and politically committed activist, who erupted as an event in my overall project of writing a genealogy of the female self in art.

  • Hauser & Wirth Announces Major Initiative to Raise Funds for Key
    Press Release Hauser & Wirth Announces Major Initiative to Raise Funds for Key Visual Arts Organizations in New York City Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic Beginning early October, works by scores of artists will be sold to benefit 16 non-profit institutions and charitable partners New York…Hauser & Wirth co-presidents Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth, and Marc Payot, announced today that the gallery has organized ‘Artists for New York,’ a major initiative to raise funds in support of a group of pioneering non-profit visual arts organizations across New York City that have been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project brings together dozens of works committed by foremost artists across generations, from both within and outside of the gallery’s program, that will be sold to benefit these institutions that have played a significant role in shaping the city’s rich cultural history and will play a critical role in its future recovery. The coronavirus pandemic has taken an unprecedented toll upon the arts in New York. Facing dire budget shortfalls for the 2020 fiscal year caused by necessary and prolonged closures during the pandemic, and expecting further impact upon earned income and contributed revenue in the year ahead, the city’s small and mid-scale institutions are extremely vulnerable at this moment. ‘Artists for New York’ will raise funds to support the recovery needs of fourteen of these organizations: Artists Space, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Dia Art Foundation, The Drawing Center, El Museo del Barrio, High Line Art, MoMA PS1, New Museum, Public Art Fund, Queens Museum, SculptureCenter, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Swiss Institute, and White Columns.

  • Miriam Schapiro, 91, a Feminist Artist Who Harnessed Craft and Pattern, Dies by William Grimes June 24, 2015
    Miriam Schapiro, 91, a Feminist Artist Who Harnessed Craft and Pattern, Dies By William Grimes June 24, 2015 Miriam Schapiro, a pioneering feminist artist who, with Judy Chicago, created the landmark installation Womanhouse in Los Angeles in the early 1970s and later in that decade helped found the Pattern and Decoration movement, died on Saturday in Hampton Bays, N.Y. She was 91. Her death was confirmed by Judith K. Brodsky, the executor of her estate. Ms. Schapiro, who broke through as a second-generation Abstract Expressionist in the late 1950s, embraced feminism in the early 1970s and made it the foundation of her work and career. From that point, she dedicated herself to redefining the role of women in the arts and elevating the status of pattern, craft and the anonymous handiwork of women in the domestic sphere. “Mimi came to feminism later than most of us, in early middle age,” said Joyce Kozloff, one of Ms. Schapiro’s allies in the Pattern and Decoration movement. “It shook her world, transformed her into a radical thinker. She was a vocal, outspoken presence — a force.” In 1971, at the newly created California Institute of the Arts, she and Ms. Chicago founded the Feminist Art Program. (An earlier version of the program had been established at Fresno State College the year before.) It quickly became an important center for formulating and disseminating a new understanding of art based on women’s history and social experience. That year they enlisted 21 students and several local artists to create Womanhouse, taking over a decaying Hollywood mansion that made an effective set for dramatizing the American home as a prison for women and their dreams.
