Stephen Friedman Gallery has opened it's first all woman show in its 25 years showing artists. Here's artist Naudline Pierre standing by her work A Subtle Reminder, 2018-19. Also shown is A Light In The Dark, 2018. Katy Hessel, creator of @thegreatwomenartists took us around the show discussing how each artist taps into the ethereal realms of fantasy, dreams and the unconscious mind to challenge preconceived notions of gender and identity⠀ ⠀ #womeninart⠀ #contemporaryart⠀ #painting⠀ #surrealism⠀ #dreams⠀ #WIA⠀ #WeAreWIA⠀ #thegreatwomenartists⠀ #womensart https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlUvZblENh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8jfsca3d1tg9

Disembodied heads, desk lamp lips, breasts in ashtrays and dessert bowls, #AlinaSzapocznikow’s work pulses with dark humour and shines a spotlight on mass consumerism of #femininity and objectification. https://buff.ly/2FIUACd #wearewia #surrealism #popart #womensart

Brilliant articulation by Whitney Chadwick in Women, Art and Society of how women renown as artists during their lifetime get re positioned after their death as muse rather than having agency as artists themselves, and their work and legacy obscured : "The bizarre but all too common transformation of the woman artist from a producer in her own right into a subject for representation forms a leitmotif in the history of art. Confounding subject and object, it undermines the speaking position of the individual woman artist by generalising her. Denied her individuality, she is displaced from being a producer and becomes instead a sign for male creativity." #womeninart #womanartists #fightthepower #wearewia #wia #creativity #legacy #fuckthepatriarchy
