\nA mini wave of exhibitions focusing on feminist art and its present day legacy hit New York last fall. White Columns led the way with two shows: \u2018Gloria,\u2019 which featured feminist art from the 70s, followed by a modern day sequel, \u2018Regarding Gloria\u2019, that tried to gauge the impact of feminist art on contemporary women artists. From over 1000 responses received in an open call for submissions, the curators chose work by ten young women artists who reinterpreted the old slogan \u2018the personal is political.\u2019 For example, MK Guth\u2019s DVD, in which she plays a caped superhero was reminiscent of Dara Birnbaum\u2019s 1978 images of Wonder Woman. But in her humorous narrative, Guth\u2019s valiant deeds not only critique the usually male superhero persona, but also act out a fantasy of empowerment. Likewise, Jenny Holzer\u2019s statements to the general public contrast Kathleen Kranack\u2019s highly personal list of the comments and insults she has received from men. Shocks like Carolee Schneeman\u2019s 1975 performance, during which she pulled a scroll from her vagina, weren\u2019t replicated in \u2018Regarding Gloria.\u2019 Instead, several artists crafted slick displays or featured the bodies of other women, to comment on the ways in which women can be complacent in their own oppression. For instance, one of Cheryl Yun\u2019s fashionable handbags featured tiled images of a woman\u2019s Botoxed face, Melissa Potter\u2019s \u2018Price Per Fuck\u2019 series paired photos of luxury items with a calculation of the price for the sexual favors which secured these gifts, and Edythe Wright\u2019s deconstructed Wonderbra was pinned in a glass case like an exhibit at a natural history museum. Thirty years after feminism\u2019s heyday, women still challenge sexism and assumptions about the \u2018ideal\u2019 woman, but \u2018Regarding Gloria\u2019 suggests that they now do so with less urgency and more humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
