O museu nacional das mulheres nas artes

Cadeira de Allen Jones. um bom artigo sobre este artista, aqui.

Iniciando um novo(antigo) tag, o das mulheres. Porque hoje me identifico com Susan Sontag e Annie Leibovitz, Kiki Smith, ao lado de Anthony Gormley. Desde Willa Cather, passando por Woolf, Plath, Atwood, Dickinson, Breyner e hoje Lyn Hejinian. Vieira da Silva e Paula Rego, Maria João Pires. Bartoli e Callas. Porque só quando o homem sai da barbárie é que podem respirar as mulheres.

Há em Washington o National Museum of Women in the Arts, mas se nem temos um da fotografia (temos?), como teríamos este... E agora mesmo em exibição está... Paula Rego.

Por lá e não por cá.

Not one woman artist was mentioned in Janson's History of Art.

"Bind" by Ryoko Suzuki. Japão
"The Bind series expresses my inner-self; a grown-up who left the world given by my parents and other adults and acquired my own thinking, and a woman who has to deal with the female sexuality. In the series, I bound myself with pigskins, which have been soaked in blood as a symbol of womanhood, as a symbol of the given world. I was thinking and feeling of my life, in which I had transformed from a child who just took what adults provided to a woman who leaded her own life, while I wrapped up my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears with the pigskin. The series is a record of consideration with the action."
