I want to let you know about an important early film on Judy Chicago that
has just been made available on DVD. Take a look at the website *
http://www.judychicagoandthecaliforniagirls.com* for streaming video clips
of Judy discussing her philosophy behind 'cunt imagery' that led to the
Dinner Party, early performance art, and an authentic time capsule of early
1970's feminist art. As a cinema-verité documentary, the film offers an
intimate view of Judy's earliest work as a teacher in her first, all-woman
program at Fresno State College, and includes footage of such now well-known
artists as Suzanne Lacy, Faith Wilding, and Vanalyne Green.
About the film, Judy's biographer Gail Levin said, "Judy Chicago & the
California Girls" is a lively and engaging documentary on a significant
moment in the history of feminist art and pedagogy. Filmmaker Judith Dancoff
gets lots of credit for recognizing and preserving a unique moment in the
history of American art."
"Judy Chicago & the California Girls" has screened has screened or is owned
by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Armand Hammer Museum, the
National Museum of Women in the Arts, The Schlesinger Center at Radcliffe,
Princeton University, Stanford University, Columbia University, campuses of
the University of California, and numerous other institutions.
