Items related to Art Of Mary Beth Edelson, The
From the 70s ritual performances to the post-feminism of the new century, Mary Beth Edelson has been destabilizing preexisting representations of women. Whether in her version of the "Last Supper," in which Georgia O'Keeffe plays Christ to disciples Lee Krasner, Nancy Graves, Louise Bourgeois, and Yoko Ono; or in her performance "Cliffhanger," in which she hangs off a precipice; or in isolating images of "femmes fatales" of Hollywood films to project another narrative on their stereotyped scripts, Edelson never loses sight of what is at stake in her work: the construction, representation, and consumption of images of women. This book, a virtual scrapbook of the feminism movement, includes conversations between Edelson and such seminal feminist figures as Carolee Schneemann, Nancy Spero, and Miriam Schapiro. Designed by the artist and full of 30 years' worth of her multidisciplinary feminist and community-based work, The Art of Mary Beth Edelson offers Edelson the ultimate control over the construction of her own image in the present and the opportunity to recontextualize her past.
