Where Do We Go From Here?

 

"Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before."

"God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back. "

- Gloria Steinem

Louise Bourgeois
1911 - 2010

 

"Bourgeois's work is a meditation on the past, and also a release of anger - chiefly, it seems from her own account, anger about a blocked and frustrated childhood, the sadistic teasing to which she was subjected by an anglophile father, and (most of all) the presence in her childhood home of her father's mistress."
- Edward Lucie - Smith

Maman 2
A smaller version of Maman was bought in 2006 for $4 million, and another in 2008 for $4.5 million. In 2011, a third spider sold at auction for $10.7 million.
Nonetheless, work by women artists remains quite inexpensive when compared to that of men.
In a 2008 survey, Bourgeois is the first woman to appear on a list of the 100 most expensive paintings at number 73!
AND, Bourgeois is the ONLY woman on the list!!!

Kathleen Hanna
The Third Wave = term identified with several diverse strains of feministactivity and study beginning in the early 1990s. The movement arose as a response to perceived failures and backlash against initiatives and movements created by the second wave.
 
Characteristics of Third Wave Feminism :
Embrace diversity and multiplicity
Often reject essentialist approaches that reduce the
female experience to biology
Take a post-structuralist consideration
of gender and sexuality
Celebration of sexuality as a positive aspect of femininity and as a source of empowerment
Kathleen Hanna of Riot Grrrl in 1996
