Dear Members and Friends of ARLIS/NY:

 

You are cordially invited to attend a curator-led tour of the exhibition Bridging Generations: Women Artists and Organizations from Rutgers Collections and a related talk at the Special Collections and University Archives Gallery of the Archibald S. Alexander Library of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.

 

Date:  Wednesday, Dec 2, 2009

Time: 4.00-5.30 PM

Location:  Archibald S. Alexander Library

                   169 College Avenue

                   New Brunswick, NJ 08901

 

Here is some information from the exhibition’s web site:

            “The exhibition draws on Rutgers University Libraries' rich collections documenting contemporary and historical women artists, including the papers of artists Faith Ringgold, Ora Lerman, and Judith Brodsky. The exhibition also draws upon the records of the Lucy Lippard Women's Art Registry, the Heresies Collective, the National Association of Women Artists, and the New York Feminist Art Institute.”

At 4 P.M. Judith K. Brodsky, Distinguished Professor Emerita in the Department of Visual Arts at Rutgers, will give a talk entitled Women Working from Within for Change:  The Women's Caucus for Art and the College Art Association.

 

The Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA) was established in 1972 as part of the College Art Association to promote equity for women artists and art professionals. Today it remains one of the largest and most influential organizations for women artists, with twenty-seven chapters nationwide. As the first working artist to lead the organization, Brodsky oversaw a major exhibition at the Los Angeles 1977 conference, the production of the sex discrimination guide Anger to Action, and promoted greater visibility for the organization through testifying before the White House Subcommittee on the Arts.

 

Following the talk Fernande H. Perrone, Archivist and Head of Special Collections and University Archives will give a tour of the exhibition she curated.

 

The program will be followed by a simple reception, graciously offered by Rutgers Special Collections.

 

The exhibition is on display in Gallery ’50 and the Special Collections and University Archives Gallery on the first floor and lower level of the Archibald S. Alexander Library.  Judith Brodsky’s talk will be held in the Remigio U. Pane Room on the first floor.

 

I will be meeting ARLIS/NY members traveling by train from Manhattan at the 3.01 PM train at Penn Station. Link to the train schedule can be found at http://www.njtransit.com/sf/sf_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=TrainSchedulesFrom.
