Loin de choisir la facilité, le scénariste et la dessinatrice changent d'époque et remontent le temps jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle, quand la France imprégnée de l'esprit des Lumières préparait la révolution de 1789..."

"This acclaimed study challenges the assumption that great women artists are exceptions to the rule who “transcended” their sex to produce major works of art. While acknowledging the many women whose contributions to visual culture have often been neglected, Whitney Chadwick’s survey reexamines the works themselves and the ways in which they have been perceived as marginal, often in direct reference to gender. This revised edition features a new final chapter that charts the evolution of feminist art history and pedagogy since the 1970s. It is brought up to date with discussions of some of the most significant women artists to have emerged in recent years, including Wangechi Mutu, Jenny Saville, and Teresa Margolles."

"A recent large-scale work from Sydney performance group version 1.0 is THIS KIND OF RUCKUS, an alcohol-fuelled and techno-beat driven reflection upon sexual violence in contemporary Australia. A key feature within THIS KIND OF RUCKUS is the frequent violent deployment of the gaze by both genders. Frequently in the performance, the gaze becomes rendered as an exercise in dominance..."

"J’ai été championne du monde mais pour moi c’est derrière, et je m’entraîne en pensant à ce que je peux faire l’année prochaine. J’ai des rêves plutôt dirigés vers l’avenir, je ne rêve pas du passé. J’ai été désignée comme la femme la plus forte du monde en soulevant deux fois et demi mon poids, mais en fin de compte je suis une femme, je n’aime pas trop dire que je suis très forte, car je suis en même temps quelqu’un de très sentimental et de fragile..."

"Eva Besnyö , photographe néerlandaise d’origine hongroise née en 1910 à Budapest a su faire de la photographie un mode d’expression à part entière. La rétrospective que le Jeu de Paume lui consacre met à l’honneur le travail et le talent d’une femme qui s’est émancipée par son art. Consacrer une exposition à une femme photographe, c’est aussi selon, Marta Gili, directrice du jeu de Paume « la volonté de revenir sur le récit de l’histoire de la photographie et ses préjugés de genre »..."
A new academic year is about to begin and I wonder what “place” feminist knowledges will have in this year's curriculum for contemporary art education both in the studio and in art theory? How many lectures or seminars will ...
Underground comics, like so many of the 1960s counterculture’s anti-institutions, started as a boys club. But the field didn’t stay that way for long. The all-women “It Ain’t Me, Babe” was published in 1970, followed in 1972 by “Wimmen’s Comix,” which persevered for two decades. One of the central figures in this India-ink insurrection was Trina Robbins, whose work is included in “Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women,” at the Washington D.C. Jewish Community Center’s gallery. The retrospective doesn’t cover every aspect of women’s comics, but among the 18 participants are several of the early-’70s prime movers, including Diane Noomin, Sharon Rudahl and Aline Kominsky-Crumb (who married one of Robbins’s macho nemeses, R. Crumb).
