In celebration of women's history month (March), the New Harmony
Gallery of Contemporary Art will offer a tribute to the history of the
feminist art movement by hosting Feminist Art of Indiana,
a juried exhibition highlighting Indiana's premier contemporary feminist
artists, February 27-April 3, 2010.
The exhibition was juried by Esther Adler, curatorial assistant
in the Drawings Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New
York City. Adler has worked on numerous exhibitions at MoMA since 2005,
focusing on curatorial concepts and researching works and their larger
art historical concepts for accompanying publications.
Adler chose artwork for Feminist Art of Indiana that
wouldn't
normally be considered feminist. Art focuses on themes of domestic life,
traditions of craft-making,
and work influenced by feminist images of
the past.
Artists included in the exhibition are
Anila Quayyum Agha, Nicole
Bock, and Holly Streekstra of Indianapolis,
Sara Bielski,
Amy Rich, Jane Case Vickers '89, Laura Walker '05, and
Kathryn
Waters of Evansville,
Mary Hambly of Bloomington,
Mary Ann
Michna of Terre Haute,
Alison Erazmus of New Harmony, and
Lisa Ryan-Hutton of Newburgh.

Southern Indiana. This exhibition is made possible through the generous

Southwestern Indiana, the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency, and
the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
