D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Ann Wilson on 2009 April 19-2010 July 12. The interview took place at Wilson's home in Valatie, New York, and was conducted by Jonathan Katz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.

Interview ANN WILSON: [In progress] "—happened as if it didn't come out of himself and his fixation but merged. It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

  • Body As Matter and Process Press Release
    Garth Greenan Gallery 529 West 20th Street 10th floor New York NY 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Skins: Body as Matter and Process Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Skins: Body as Matter and Process, a group exhibition curated by Alison Dillulio at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, June 23, 2016, the exhibition features a selection of works, mostly from the 1970s, that evoke the human body–both literally and metaphorically. The artists included are: Lynda Benglis, Mary Beth Edelson, Harmony Hammond, Ralph Humphrey, Kiki Kogelnik, Howardena Pindell, Zilia Sánchez, Joan Semmel, Richard Van Buren, and Hannah Wilke. During the 1970s, second-wave feminism fostered a climate of unparalleled artistic innovation. As Lucy Lippard wrote, “the goal of feminism is to change the character of art.” The artists included in this exhibition furthered this mission by abandoning traditional art-making practices in favor of new modes of representation. They resisted preexisting patriarchal constructs by challenging the definition of painting and sculpture and reintegrating a palpable sense of self into their work. Howardena Pindell, Autobiography: Japan (Shisen-dö, Kyoto), 1982 (more) According to art historian Lynda Nead, art of this period “broke open the boundaries of representation….to reveal the body as matter and process, as opposed to form and stasis.” The featured artists cut, tear, stretch, throw, break apart, and reconstruct materials in their deeply personal and physically charged works. They reference the body in their exploration of processes, materials, and subject matter—an endeavor that offers viewers new perspectives on all forms, human and otherwise.

    ARTH 787: Seminar in Contemporary Art Feminist and Queer Art History, 1971-present Spring 2007 Professor Richard Meyer ([email protected]) Mondays, 2-4:50 p.m. Dept. of Art History, University of Pennsylvania Jaffe 201 Course Description and Requirements This seminar traces the development of a critical literature in feminist and gay/lesbian art history. Beginning with some foundational texts of the 1970s (Linda Nochlin’s "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?,” James Saslow’s "Closets in the Museum: Homophobia and Art History"), we will examine how art historians, artists, critics, and curators have addressed issues of gender and sexuality over the course of the last three decades. The seminar approaches feminist and queer art history as distinct, if sometimes allied, fields of inquiry. Students will be asked to attend closely to the historical specificity of the texts and critical debates at issue in each case. Students are expected to complete all required reading prior to seminar meetings and to discuss the texts and critical issues at hand during each session. On a rotating basis, each student will prepare a 2-page response to an assigned text which will then be used to initiate discussion in seminar. Toward the end of the semester, students will deliver a 15-minute presentation on their seminar research to date. In consultation with both the professor and the other seminar members, each student will develop his or her oral presentation into a final paper of approximately 20 - 25 pages. Required Texts: For purchase at Penn Book Center: 1. Norma Broude and Mary Garrard, The Power of Feminist Art: The American Movement of the 1970s, History and Impact (New York: Harry N.

  • Harmony Hammond Harmony Hammond
    Harmony Hammond Harmony Hammond October 23 – December 7, 2013 Alexander Gray Associates A Manifesto (Personal) of Monochrome (Sort of) Painting, like any cultural language, doesn’t have to rely on its historicized meanings. I don’t accept that painting is an over-determined site, a privileged domain of the authoritative masculine voice, or that monochrome painting is necessarily a dead end—the inevitable conclusion of a history of art as a hierarchy of purifications. I make large thickly painted near-monochrome paintings. While these paintings engage with (and I like to think, interrupt and resist), the history of modernist painting—and more specifically, narratives of abstraction and monochrome—they come out of post-minimal and feminist concerns with materials and process rather than modernist reduction. They are formal, frontal, condensed. They resist pictorial space and assert the painting object. But they also invite content. My work is not pure, isolated, authoritative, universal, self-referential, self-sufficient, or removed from social function. I invoke references and associations. I welcome the world outside the painting edge into the painting field. Because monochrome painting is typically one surface and non-hierarchical in composition, the focus is on nuance of sameness and difference within and between paintings. I disagree with readings of monochrome based on absence, emptiness or blankness because they define monochrome as the “other” in relation to image and signification. These readings do not take into account the materiality of paint as a carrier of meaning. The paintings are layered and built out of themselves—from the inside out. Paint is applied with a brush, but it’s not about the stroke or mark in the abstract expressionist sense.

  • “Lesbians Are Not Women”: Feminine and Lesbian Sensibilities in Harmony Hammond’S Late-1970S Sculpture
    “Lesbians Are Not Women”: Feminine and Lesbian Sensibilities in Harmony Hammond’s Late-1970s Sculpture Margo Hobbs Thompson SUMMARY. Harmony Hammond’s wrapped fabric sculptures are placed in context of the theories of gender and sexuality that circulated among lesbian and straight feminists at the time they were made, the late 1970s. Hammond has cited in particular Monique Wittig’s novels, such as The Lesbian Body,andheressaysincluding“TheStraightMind,”whereWittig concludes that the lesbian is not a woman. The critique to which Wittig’s lesbian separatism has been subjected by Judith Butler in her consideration of the appeal and limitations of essentialism also applies to Hammond’s art. Hammond’s use of vaginal imagery was instrumental to visualizing alesbiansensibility,butthepropositionofsuchasensibilityestablished a new problematic: a new essential category. The article concludes that because Hammond’s work was produced in the context of a complex set of discourses, lesbian, feminist, and aesthetic, it resisted reduction to a singular meaning. Her sculptures avoided the pitfall of substituting one essence for another, lesbian for feminine sensibility, but activated both. The sculptures effectively queered vaginal imagery: When Hammond used vaginal imagery to represent lesbian sensibility, she subverted the equation of sex and gender and the essentialist notion of feminine sensibility. Margo Hobbs Thompson received her Ph.D. in art history from Northwestern University. Her articles on 1970s feminist art have appeared in n. paradoxa, Genders, and GLQ. She teaches modern and contemporary art at Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA.

  • Queerly Made: Harmony Hammond's Floorpieces
    The Journal of Modern Craft Queerly Made: Volume 2—Issue 1 Harmony Hammond’s March 2009 pp. 59–80 Floorpieces DOI 10.2752/174967809X416279 Julia Bryan-Wilson Reprints available directly from the publishers Photocopying permitted by Julia Bryan-Wilson is Assistant Professor of Contemporary licence only Art in the Department of Art History and Director of the © Berg 2009 Ph.D. program in Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. She is also a curator and critic, and her writing has appeared in The Art Bulletin, Artforum, Bookforum, Frieze, and Oxford Art Journal. Her book Art Workers: Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era will be published in 2009 by the University of California Press. This article draws upon her recent research in feminist and queer craft since 1970. Abstract In 1973, the artist Harmony Hammond made a series of artworks entitled Floorpieces. Based on traditional rag-rug techniques, these braided fabric pieces were selectively painted and then placed, like rugs, directly on the ground. The making of the Floorpieces coincided with Hammond coming out, and their spiraling, braided form is suggestive of both lesbian erotics and traditions of women’s handicraft. Hammond’s work challenges many of the binary oppositions that continue to structure conversations of craft—high/low, masculine/feminine, functional/decorative. This article argues that Hammond’s destruction of binaries activates a queer space, and that her handmade abstractions open up possible directions for a productive queering of the category of craft that is attentive to sexuality and class. Keywords: Harmony Hammond, craft, queer theory, feminism, class, lesbian art.
