Claiming Space: Some American Feminist Originators, American
University Museum, November 6, 2007 - January 27, 2008. Co-curated
by Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard, pioneering feminist scholars and
professors of art history at American University, this exhibition
focuses on nineteen founders of the Feminist Art movement in America,
emphasizing their innovative large-scale pieces of the 1970s, and the
claiming of space as an empowering political act. Emphasis is given
to feminist political protest (e.g., Suzanne Lacy and Leslie
Labowitz, Faith Ringgold, May Stevens), the expressive and cultural
empowerment of the female body (e.g., Judy Chicago, Mary Beth
Edelson, Yolanda Lopez, Carolee Schneemann), and the visual pleasure
of the feminist-led Pattern and Decoration Movement (e.g., Jane
Kaufman, Joyce Kozloff, Howardena Pindell, Miriam Schapiro).
The cost of the Exhibition Catalog is $15.00, which includes shipping
