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
