The provocative and rallying “Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Art World and Beyond” art exhibit debuted at the Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery last Thursday. This is just the beginning of the Guerrilla Girls takeover of Fairfield. The exhibit consists of a series of posters with illustrations and statistics that expose the truths of social injustices women face in art and society.
The idea of the Guerrilla Girls first started in 1985 by a group of female artists who were shocked to find out that the Museum of Modern Art sponsored an art gallery show of 187 artists, but only 17 of the artists chosen were women. Today, the Guerrilla Girls mix in a little humor with the truth to invoke some of the past and present gender social, and political inequalities throughout art’s history. They deliver worldwide speeches wearing gorilla masks to protect their anonymity and to create controversial films, books and artwork.
