Subject: MoMA Symposium "The Feminist Future"
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 11:28:22 -0500
---------------------------------------------------------
The Feminist Future: Theory and Practice in the Visual Arts
New York, Museum of Modern Art
January 26-27, 2007
This symposium addresses critical questions surrounding the relationship
between art and gender, bringing together international leaders in
contemporary art, art history, and related disciplines. After the activism
of the 1960s and '70s, and the revisionist critiques of the 1980s and '90s,
this symposium will examine ways in which gender is currently addressed by
artists, museums and the academy, and its future role in art practice and
scholarship.
The Feminist Future is entirely sold out for both Friday and Saturday.
Depending on availability, additional tickets for the live event in the
Titus 1 Theater and/or the video simulcast in the Bartos Theater may be
released beginning at 9:30 a.m. on the mornings of Friday, January 26
(tickets for Friday only), and Saturday, January 27 (tickets for Saturday
only). The line will form in front of MoMA's Ronald and Jo Carole Lauder
Building, 11 West 53 Street.
The Feminist Future symposium will be audiostreamed live on WPS1 Art Radio
on January 26 and 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day.
Audio and video recordings of the symposium will be posted in their entirety
at
www.moma.org/audio one to two weeks after the event.
The Feminist Future is made possible by The Modern Women's Fund.
