Using the progressive feminist art work of the Guerrilla Girls as a touchstone, the exhibition features both contemporary and historical works from MCAM’s collection that surface complex dialogues around representations of gender, race, and sexuality. Taking its title from the 1989 Guerrilla Girls poster You’re Seeing Less Than Half the Picture Without the Vision of Women Artists and Artists of Color, the exhibition questions the lack of diverse narra- tives in cultural institutions by foregrounding the work of traditionally underrepresented artists. Some of the featured artists, such as Fred Wilson, Bonnie O’Connell, and Faith Ring- gold, blur the lines between activism and art by making politically charged work that is directly engaged with the underlying power dynamics of display practices. Other works by Ruth Bern- hard, Elizabeth Ginno Winkler, and Shi Tou can be read as more covert reflections on self-de- termined identities and art as social commentary. Whether overtly activist or stealthily subver- sive, the work in the exhibition demonstrates the myriad ways artists can expose us to multiple points of view by challenging curatorial authority and reprioritizing whose work is represented in museums. The exhibition showcases pieces from MCAM’s unique holdings including works by Ruth Bernhard, Judy Chicago, Papo Colo, Imogen Cunningham, Carmen Lomas Garza, the Guerrilla Girls, Mona Hatoum, Yolanda Lopez, Sarah McEneaney, Faith Ringgold, Lorna Simp- son, Shi Tou, Carrie Mae Weems, Fred Wilson, and Elizabeth Ginno Winkler, and work by Bonnie O’Connell on loan from the Special Collections at the F. W. Olin Library. You’re Seeing Less Than Half the Picture is curated by students in the Fall 2018 Museum Studies Workshop: Chloe Champion, Andrea Ortiz Galdamez, Walker Guinnee, Julianna P. Lopez, Dorothea Moerman, Amelia Ravitz-Dworkin, Cassidy Schmitt, Golnaz Shariatzadeh. Their research is featured in this exhibition catalogue. Guerrilla Girls The Token Times Classified, 1995 3 Judy Chicago Red Flag, 1971 4 RED FLAG: A CONTEMPLATIVE WARNING Chloe Champion Transgressive, in your face, and controversial—there’s no doubt that Judy Chicago was a pivotal trailblazer during the feminist art movement of the 1970s. Although she is most popularly known for her 1974-79 installation The Dinner Party, Chicago’s work traverses many modes of execution and material, consistently focusing on her idea of central-core imagery and the visibility of the “female” experience. Her work aligns with an essentialist ideology of gender based on biological sex, commonly affiliated with white, middle class, heterosexual feminism of the 1970s. Issues of institutional critique, confrontation of power dynamics, and subversive repre- sentations of identity are all at the heart of You’re Seeing Less Than Half the Picture. Chica- go’s work that is included in this exhibition, Red Flag, touches on all of these powerful themes. This photolithograph depicts a figure—a close up of a woman’s crotch with a hand pulling a bright red blood-blotched tampon from themselves—as the main focal point of the piece. This vaginal focal point comes as no surprise, as central-core imagery and essentialism are key to Chicago’s work of this time. Chicago and her contemporary Miriam Schapiro elaborated on this idea of central-core imagery in their collaborative essay “Female Imagery,” by stating, “. we are suggesting that women artists have used the central cavity which defines them as women as the framework for an imagery which allows for the complete reversal of the way in which women are seen by the culture.” They continue on to explain how this kind of imagery is intended to work by asserting that the reclamation of the vagina as a hallmark of the movement’s iconography was intended to “establish a vehicle by which to state the truth and beauty of her identity.”1 Despite the im- portance of this reclamation, it is divisive and lacks any room for a more intersectional “female” experience. Adhering to a definition of identity that is based on strict biological terms is incred- ibly limiting and exclusionary. The evolution of Chicago’s art practice is an interesting one. Chicago moved to Los Angeles in 1957 to attend the art program at UCLA. She arrived in perfect time to get swept away in the Finish Fetish movement, a form of California minimalism that was overtaking Los Angeles at this time. The work was hard, shiny, clean, and most importantly, devoid of any sign of human touch. Chicago had to negotiate her path in an environment that rewarded techno- logical know-how, formal mastery of materials, and an attitude of cool machismo.2 As the 1 Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, “Female Imagery,” Womanspace Journal (1973). 2 Laura Meyer, “From Finish Fetish to Feminism: Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party in California Art History,” in Amelia Jones, ed., Sexual Politics: Judy Chicago’s ‘Dinner Party’ in Feminist Art History (Berkeley, CA: University of Cali- 5 feminist movement took off in the late 60s and early 70s, a major shift occurred in Chicago’s work. The personal become political and women begin speaking out, making work that represented their experiences. Chicago describes this process of coming to her consciousness as a feminist artist, “I peeled back my coded imagery and finally broke through to the begin- ning to new imagery.”3 Most important in relation to Red Flag is the time period when Chicago was part of the collective Womanhouse, an installation space created for the CalArts Feminist Art Program in 1972. During this time Chicago and others involved with Womanhouse made various works which highlighted the ex- perience of menstruation. Blood is an incredibly symbolically charged and provoking material. In Chicago’s installation Men- struation Bathroom at Womanhouse, the bathroom’s pristine shelves are overflowing with various commercial products that are designed to conceal the “embarrassing” signs of menstru- ation, but these products prove powerless to stop the flow of blood that spills angrily from a nearby basket of blood-stained pads.4 The male gaze is subsequently subverted through this act of nonconformity.

The Dinner Party, 1974-79 6 align with the patriarchal image of what a woman Judy Chicago Menstruation Bathroom, 1972 7 should or should not show, Chicago creates an image that is by a woman for women. This work does not shy away, it is not embarrassed to be on display. Red Flag is like a snapshot of the installation Menstruation Bathroom. This type of imagery becomes a powerful tool that peels away the veil that shrouds the domestic sphere in mystery, and invisibility is destroyed by this type of work which refuses to hide. Historically the representation of women’s bodies in art has been dictated by men. The image of the female nude has persisted through time, and persistently, through time, men are the one’s creating these images. In a poster by the Guer- rilla Girls, this sentiment is succinctly stated: “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” The follow up to this comment is a statistic in which the viewer is informed that less than five percent of the artists in the modern art sections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are women, but eighty-five percent of the nudes are female. Although this work by the Guerrilla Girls was created some time after Chi- cago’s Red Flag, it is clear that Chicago was thinking about these issues of representation and nudity in all of her work. The reclamation of the representation of women’s bodies in art is meant to deconstruct the preordained code of regulations for the making and judging of art, which is derived from men’s sense of what is or is not significant.5 The function of an image of a nude female form is radically changed depending on the maker of the image.

Martinez, Project Director Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado ABOUT THE ALMA PROJECT The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project was made possible with funding from a Goals 2000 Partnerships for Educating Colorado Students grant awarded to the Denver Public Schools in July 1996. The Project is currently being funded by the Denver Public Schools. The intent of the Project is to have teachers in the Denver Public Schools develop instructional units on the history, contributions, and issues pertinent to Latinos and Hispanics in the southwest United States. Other experts, volunteers, and community organizations have also been directly involved in the development of content in history, literature, science, art, and music, as well as in teacher training. The instructional units have been developed for Early Childhood Education (ECE) through Grade 12. As instructional units are developed and field-tested, feedback from teachers is extremely valuable for making any necessary modifications in the topic development of future units of study. Feedback obtained in the spring of 1999, from 48 teachers at 14 sites, was compiled, documented and provided vital information for the field testing report presented to the Board of Education.

  • Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected]
    Vol 1 No 2 (Autumn 2020) Online: jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/nexj Visit our WebBlog: newexplorations.net Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected] This illustrated article discusses the various manifestations of street art—graffiti, posters, stencils, social murals—and the impact of street art on urban environments. Continuing perceptions of street art as vandalism contributing to urban decay neglects to account for street art’s full spectrum of effects. As freedom of expression protected by law, as news from under-privileged classes, as images of social uplift and consciousness-raising, and as beautification of urban milieux, street art has social benefits requiring re-assessment. Street art has become a significant global art movement. Detailed contextual history includes the photographer Brassai's interest in Parisian graffiti between the world wars; Cézanne’s use of passage; Walter Benjamin's assemblage of fragments in The Arcades Project; the practice of dérive (passage through diverse ambiances, drifting) and détournement (rerouting, hijacking) as social and political intervention advocated by Guy Debord and the Situationist International; Dada and Surrealist montage and collage; and the art of Quebec Automatists and French Nouveaux réalistes. Present street art engages dynamically with 20th C. art history. The article explores McLuhan’s ideas about the power of mosaic style to subvert the received order, opening spaces for new discourse to emerge, new patterns to be discovered. The author compares street art to advertising, and raises questions about appropriation, authenticity, and style. How does street art survive when it leaves the streets for galleries, design shops, and museums? Street art continues to challenge communication strategies of the privileged classes and elected officials, and increasingly plays a reconstructive role in modulating the emotional tenor of urban spaces.

  • Art for La Causa
    Art for La Causa The civil rights era of the 1960s, in which marginalized groups demanded equal rights, dramatically altered American society. Galvanized by the times in which they lived, Latino artists became masters of socially engaged art, challenging prevailing notions of American identity and affirming the mixed indigenous, African, and European heritage of Latino communities. Many artists reinvigorated mural and graphic traditions in an effort to reach ordinary people where they lived and worked. Whether energizing genres like history painting, or creating activist posters or works that penetrated bicultural experiences, Latino artists shaped and chronicled a turning point in American history. The Latino Civil Rights movement began around the same time as the African American Civil Rights movement during the 1960s. The Latino community founds its voice in civil rights activist Cesar Chavez in their quest for equality. Chavez, inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., implemented peaceful protest strategies in the effort to expand civil and labor rights for Latinos. The marches, strikes, and fasts that Chavez and others employed aided in raising awareness of unfair labor practices, such as low wages and poor working conditions facing the Latino community. These issues became compelling motivation for Latino artists to use their talents to raise awareness and engage others for La Causa. Their artwork, which began as an expression of public art forms, fueled ongoing political activism and a greater sense of cultural pride. Political banners and posters carried during marches and protests were some of the first art forms of the movement. While Emanuel Martinez’s Farm Workers Altar is an excellent example of early public art of the movement, Carmen Lomas Garza’s Camas para Sueños exudes cultural pride in depicting a scene of everyday life in a Mexican American family.

  • Hispanic Art in Texas Teacher Resource 2
    ART, IDENTITY, CULTURE TEJANO CULTURE IN EARLY TEXAS AND CONTEMPORARY ART LESSON ONE ART AND REPRESENTATION BEFORE THE LESSON It is important for students to be able to critically evaluate what they see, particularly as this relates to the representation of culture. Without a critical eye, students may accept stereotypical interpretations and not strive for accurate representations of peoples and cultures. OVERVIEW In this lesson, students identify and discuss how examples of Early Texas Art represent Tejano culture, comparing works for the ways that they construct their subjects. They will consider the social and historical conditions under which the images were made and offer plausible explanations for the paintings' meanings. Finally, they will evaluate what primary sources are necessary to investigate culture appropriately. In doing so, the students identify the tools that they will use in the remaining lessons. OBJECTIVES STUDENTS WILL: Interpret images for their meaning Compare different images for their meanings Employ terms introduced in the unit (Tejano, Anglo, culture, identity, representation, stereotype) Compose a plausible extension for each image Evaluate resources needed for more complete interpretations of the images HISTORICAL INFORMATION These three paintings represent different periods of Texas history. Theodore Gentilz's painting was created in the Republic of Texas (1836-1845). Gentilz was a Frenchman who moved to San Antonio in 1843 and painted the city's diverse cultures as he saw them. The image seen here represents a fandango dance. José Arpa made his image in 1929, just before the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Tejanos at this time experienced discrimination and schools were segregated.
