Who Does She Think She Is? And WACK.
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008You should check out the trailer that Amy Stein recently posted on her blog. The documentary is a moving depiction of women artists and their decline in the art world post graduate school (here).
On another note, last Friday I attended the Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution exhibit at the Vancouver Art gallery. The exhibit focuses on feminist art created between 1965 and 1980. At times I felt a bit like I was attending a 70s consciousness raising group, but all in all I was pretty excited to see the original scroll that Carolee Schneemann pulled out of her vagina, sit on the floor and watch Yoko Ono’s “Cut Piece” and be in the same room as the artist celebrity Orlan. The exhibit is on at the VAG till January 11, 2009.
And here are some amazing audio interviews with WACK artists on the specific pieces they have hung in the show (go here and click on the subsection “highlights”).

A short glimpse into Vancouver’s Oddball dance party. I have more photographs to add, but decided to post it as a work in progress. If you would like more info on the party, please check out their blog.
