| Summary: | New York is a center of creative production for an exciting, emerging generation of women artists. Their work investigates themes such as the body as medium and subject matter, the deconstruction of the existing patriarchal order of the art world, the appropriation of earlier art historical references and the use of so-called abject and everyday materials. New York, New Wave investigates the relevance of earlier feminist practice for this new generation, asking does gender difference still play a role in today's practice? How can younger women artists embrace a radical political ideology and yet remain market friendly? How far have these artists diverged from the established feminist tradition? Artists discussed include Firelei Baez, EV Day, Ruby LaToya Fraser, Diana Al-Hadid, K8 Hardy, Valerie Hegarty, Cindy Hinant, Dawn Kasper, Anya Kielar, Liz Magic Laser, Narcissister, Alix Pearlstein, Aurel Schmidt, AL Steiner and W.A.G.E. |
