Lady in the Mirror. Female Art Strategies in the 1970s

Gold

The publication Lady in the Mirror. Artistic Strategies of Women in the 1970s is related to the exhibition organized by Piekary Gallery and 9/11 Art Space Foundation in Poznań in 2017 and features works by Izabella Gustowska, Zofia Kulik, Anna Kutera, Natalia LL, Teresa Murak, Jolanta Marcolli, Ewa Partum, Maria Pinińska-Bereś and Teresa Tyszkiewicz. Their oeuvre is not only a manifestation of women’s art and early feminism; above all, it corresponds and coincides with the second avant-garde (neo-avant-garde), a current which predominated in Polish art in the 1970s and in the early 1980s. Importantly enough, that was a period of extraordinary plurality of approaches and artistic gestures which – at least in Poland – were utterly unprecedented.
