Mary Beth Edelson's gathering boxes featured in exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum | Gender and art | Scoop.it

RIDGEFIELD, CONN.- The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is bringing together six of Mary Beth Edelson’s ground-breaking story gathering boxes in a participatory exhibition that invites visitor contributions. The project, which was initiated in 1972, is still ongoing and has encapsulated an evolving feminist art legacy and evidenced the very first vestiges of what is familiarly known today as “social practice.”

Mary Beth Edelson: Six Story Gathering Boxes (1971–2014) will remain on view until April 5, 2015.
