Photography by Cher Him Chua. 6. “Boedi Widjaja: Declaration of” at Helwaser Gallery Since Singapore-based multidisciplinary artist Boedi Widjaja left Indonesia early in his youth, his experience of his home country has largely developed through media imagery and his own imagination. Now in the final days of its run at Helwaser Gallery, the artist’s exhibition “Declaration of” continues the aptly titled “Imaginary Homeland” series that he began in 2015 to explore the contours and complications of this long-distance relationship. The show focuses on large-scale drawings, photographs, and a newly commissioned installation, all based on press photos of Indonesia’s founding president, Sukarno, and his successor by purge, major general Suharto, who went on to rule the country for the next 31 years.

There are awards for using the most cans, for structural integrity, for best design, and even for the cans that would make for the best meal. Location: Brookfield Place, 230 Vesey Street Price: Free, suggested donation of canned food Time: 10 a.m.–8 p.m. —Sarah Cascone Thursday, November 7–Saturday, November 30 Diarmuid Kelley, Seville Oranges (2019).

The paintings, sometimes deliberately unfinished, draw on Renaissance art history while remaining decidedly contemporary. Location: Stellan Holm Gallery, 1018 Madison Avenue Price: Free Time: Opening reception, 6 p.m.–8 p.m.; Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. —Sarah Cascone Thursday, November 7–Saturday, December 21 Mary Corse, Untitled (White, Black, Red, Beveled), 2019.

Her first show with the gallery was in Hong Kong during that city’s Art Basel; this New York outing focuses on recent work that sees Corse, known for her deceptively plain black and white canvases studded with the tiny glass microspheres found in road paint, embrace color.

The artist’s vaguely anthropomorphic figures are at once beautiful and disturbing, suggesting new bioengineered species born of a dystopian future. Location: Lehmann Maupin, 536 West 22nd Street Price: Free Time: Opening reception, 6 p.m.–8 p.m.; Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. —Sarah Cascone Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9 Diana Whitten, Vessel (2014), still. Photo courtesy of Diana Whitten. 11. “Reproductive Rights Film Festival (https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/calendar/event/opening_reproductive_rights_film_festival_november_2019)” at the Brooklyn Museum As more and more states pass legislation restricting women’s access to abortion, the Brooklyn Museum holds a two-day film festival celebrating the right for reproductive rights. Opening night will include a screening of Reversing Roe (2018), Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg’s documentary about the right’s long-term political campaign to overturn the landmark Supreme Court ruling legalizing abortion nationwide. Screenings of Dawn Porter’s Trapped (2016); Tracy Droz’s Abortion: Stories Women Tell (2016); Alessandra Zeka and Holen Sabrina Kahn’s A Quiet Inquisition (2014); and Diana Whitten’s Vessel (2014) are scheduled for Saturday, along with a conversation between several of the filmmakers and Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health.

    FASHIONING GENDER FASHIONING GENDER: A CASE STUDY OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY BY ALLYSON STOKES, B.A.(H), M.A. A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND THE SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES OF MCMASTER UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY c Copyright by Allyson Stokes, August 2013 All Rights Reserved Doctor of Philosophy (2013) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada TITLE: Fashioning Gender: A Case Study of the Fashion Industry AUTHOR: Allyson Stokes BA.H., MA SUPERVISOR: Dr. Tina Fetner NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 169 ii For Johnny. iii Abstract This dissertation uses the case of the fashion industry to explore gender inequality in cre- ative cultural work. Data come from 63 in-depth interviews, media texts, labor market statistics, and observation at Toronto’s fashion week. The three articles comprising this sandwich thesis address: (1) processes through which femininity and feminized labor are devalued; (2) the gendered distribution of symbolic capital among fashion designers; and (3) the gendered organization of the fashion industry and the “ideal creative worker.” In chapter two, I apply devaluation theory to the fashion industry in Canada. This chap- ter makes two contributions to literature on the devaluation of femininity and “women’s work.” First, while devaluation is typically used to explain the gender wage gap, I also address symbolic aspects of devaluation related to respect, prestige, and interpretations of worth. Second, this paper shows that processes of devaluation vary and are heavily shaped by the context in which work is performed. I address five processes of devaluation in fash- ion: (1) trivialization, (2) the privileging of men and masculinity, (3) the production of a smokescreen of glamour, (4) the use of free labor and “free stuff,” and (5) the construction of symbolic boundaries between “work horses” and “show ponies.” In chapter three, I use media analysis to investigate male advantage in the predomi- nantly female field of fashion design.

University of Texas Press, United States, 2016. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. When Alina Simone agreed to write a book about Madonna, she thought it might provide an interesting excuse to indulge her own eighties nostalgia. Wrong. What Simone discovered instead was a tidal wave of already published information about Madonna-and her own ambivalence about, maybe even jealousy of, the Material Girl s overwhelming commercial success. With the straight-ahead course stymied, Simone set o on a quirky detour through the backroads of celebrity and fandom and the people who love or loathe Madonna. In this witty, sometimes acerbic, always perceptive chronicle, Simone begins by trying to understand why Madonna s birthplace, Bay City, Michigan, won t even put up a sign to celebrate its most famous citizen, and ends by asking why local bands who make music that s authentic and true can disappear with barely a trace.

    Schirn Presse Basquiat Boom for Real En

    BOOM FOR REAL: THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT PRESENTS THE ART OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT IN GERMANY BASQUIAT BOOM FOR REAL FEBRUARY 16 – MAY 27, 2018 Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is acknowledged today as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. More than 30 years after his last solo exhibition in a public collection in Germany, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a major survey devoted to this American artist. Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition is the first to focus on Basquiat’s relationship to music, text, film and television, placing his work within a broader cultural context. In the 1970s and 1980s, Basquiat teamed up with Al Diaz in New York to write graffiti statements across the city under the pseudonym SAMO©. Soon he was collaging baseball cards and postcards and painting on clothing, doors, furniture and on improvised canvases. Basquiat collaborated with many artists of his time, most famously Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. He starred in the film New York Beat with Blondie’s singer Debbie Harry and performed with his experimental band Gray. Basquiat created murals and installations for New York nightclubs like Area and Palladium and in 1983 he produced the hip-hop record Beat Bop with K-Rob and Rammellzee. Having come of age in the Post-Punk underground scene in Lower Manhattan, Basquiat conquered the art world and gained widespread international recognition, becoming the youngest participant in the history of the documenta in 1982. His paintings were hung beside works by Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly.

Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud. Cambridge, MA: Harvard UP, 1990. Making Sex is an ambitious investigation of Western scientific conceptions of sexual difference. A historian by profession, Laqueur locates the major conceptual divide in the late eighteenth century when, as he puts it, “a biology of cosmic hierarchy gave way to a biology of incommensurability, anchored in the body, in which the relationship of men to women, like that of apples to oranges, was not given as one of equality or inequality but rather of difference” (207).

After all, here we are. Assuming that at least some of us were born before 1980, when Brooke Shields announced her affinity for jeans over nothing in the first of Calvin Klein's increasingly controversial advertisements, one might conclude that there was, indeed, sex before Calvin Klein. This matters to me because I am writing a book about the history of the legal regulation of sexuality in America,' and it would be a pretty short book if everything that mattered started a scant sixteen years ago! But it turns out that things regarding sex are never simple. There has been a fashion for some time in contemporary American and European sexual history to hold that sex is not a natural urge, but a product of social institutions.

    The Long Overlooked Female Artists Suddenly Getting Market Attention

    The Long Overlooked Female Artists Suddenly Getting Market Attention observer.com/2018/03/art-market-report-armory-fair-sales-include-mary-corse-sheila-hicks/ Margaret Carrigan March 13, 2018 Work by Norwegian artist Vanessa Baird on view at the Armory Show. Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images Bad weather didn’t keep collectors away from the 2018 Armory Show, which closed March 11 after strong attendance over its five-day run. The fair’s overall sales gave no indication that the event opened just as the second nor’easter hit New England in under a week, canceling and delaying flights from inbound visitors across the world. One buyer, Thomas Yamamoto, even hopped a flight from Shanghai to New York early to peep a painting in person that he’d bought after seeing just a photo of it. The work in question is a fetching white monochrome from 2011 by Mary Corse, a foundational figure in the male-dominated Light and Space movement started in 1960s Los Angeles. And Corse wasn’t the only overlooked lady from the mid 20th century getting snapped up at the show. “Interest in female artists from the ’60s, ’70s and even the ’80s is high right now,” London-based gallerist Alison Jacques told Observer. Indeed, her Armory Show booth boasted a number of powerhouse women, including works by Ana Mendieta, Dorothea Tanning, Betty Parsons, Michelle Stuart and Sheila Hicks. Hicks studied at Yale, where she worked with legendary modernist Josef Albers and was a pioneer of textile art in the 1960s; now 83, the Nebraska-born, Paris-based artist is finally the subject of a major solo exhibition, at Paris’s Centre Pompidou.

    Women Light Artists in Postwar California Elizabeth M. Gollnick

    Diffusion: Women Light Artists in Postwar California Elizabeth M. Gollnick Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Elizabeth M. Gollnick All Rights Reserved Diffusion: Women Light Artists in Postwar California Elizabeth M. Gollnick Abstract This dissertation redefines Los Angeles “light and space” art, tracing the multiple strains of abstract light art that developed in California during the postwar technology boom. These artists used new technical materials and industrial processes to expand modernist definitions of medium and create perceptual experiences based on their shared understanding of light as artistic material. The diversity and experimental nature of early Light and Space practice has been suppressed within the discourse of “minimal abstraction,” a term I use to signal the expansion of my analysis beyond the boundaries of work that is traditionally associated with “minimalism” as a movement. My project focuses on three women: Mary Corse, Helen Pashgian and Maria Nordman, each of whom represents a different trajectory of postwar light-based practice in California. While all of these artists express ambivalence about attempts to align their practice with the Light and Space movement, their work provides fundamental insight into the development of light art and minimal abstract practice in California during this era. In chapter one, I map the evolution of Mary Corse’s experimental “light painting” between 1964 and 1971, in which the artist experimented with new technology—including fluorescent bulbs and the reflective glass microspheres used in freeway lane dividers—to expand the perceptual boundaries of monochrome painting by manifesting an experience of pure white light.
