New York New Wave: The Legacy of Feminist Art in Emerging Practice


Add your own review!

Overview

"New York is a centre of creative production for an exciting, emerging generation of women artists. Their work investigates themes such as the body as medium and subject matter; the deconstruction of the existing patriarchal order of the art world; the appropriation of earlier art historical references; and the use of so-called abject and everyday materials. New York New Wave investigates the relevance of earlier feminist practice for this 'new' generation, asking: Does gender difference still play a role in today's practice? How can younger women artists embrace a radical political ideology and yet remain market friendly? How far have these artists diverged from the established feminist ""tradition""? Artists discussed include: Firelei Baez, EV Day, Ruby LaToya Fraser, Diana Al-Hadid, K8 Hardy, Valerie Hegarty, Cindy Hinant, Dawn Kasper, Anya Kielar, Liz Magic Laser, Narcissister, Alix Pearlstein, Aurel Schmidt, AL Steiner and W.A.G.E."

Reviews

'For a clear, organized book about the current generation of young feminist artists and what they owe to the previous generations you can't do better than Kathy Battista's new book. Thoroughly researched and well written, this book will be referred to for years.' 'An important book ... it goes beyond a mere scholarly examination of feminist art, but accounts for a key feminist text itself.' 'Battista's unique understanding of an exciting new wave of feminist artists in New York dissects the umbilical cord connecting them to radical practitioners of the 1970s.' I recommend reading this carefully researched new book which chronicles both classic and the emerging new generation of feminist artists. You'll find, surprisingly, some of the most recent work to be both sexy and very entertaining. The book contradicts the common notion that feminist artwork can be dismissed as being just politically correct.
