Summary:

"In 1980 Lucy Lippard argued that feminist art is "neither a style nor a movement" but rather "a value system, a revolutionary strategy, a way of life." New Time: Art and Feminisms in the Twenty-First Century takes Lippard's statement as a point of departure, examining the values, strategies, and ways of life reflected in recent feminist art. Although artworks made since 2000 are the primary focus, the objects and installations discussed span several generations, mediums, geographies, and political sensibilities, conveying the heterogeneous, intergenerational, and gender-fluid nature of feminist practices. In keeping with Griselda Pollock's observation that "feminism is a historical project and thus is itself constantly shaped and remodelled in relation to the living process of women's struggles," New Time argues that feminist art in the twenty-first century encompasses myriad issues and perspectives and therefore cannot be reduced to a single subject, style, or agenda. It further reflects the forms of resistance that are constantly emerging in response to developments in politics and society. This richly illustrated volume presents works by more than seventy artists and collectives, including Laura Aguilar, Louise Bourgeois, Andrea Bowers, Judy Chicago, Ellen Gallagher, Luchita Hurtado, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Kalup Linzy, Goshka Macuga, Mai-Thu Perret, Carol Rama, Kiki Smith, Sturtevant, and Kara Walker. It examines their work though themes such as the problematic stereotypes associated with hysteria; the gendered gaze; the revisitation of historical subjects through a feminist lens; fragmented representations of the female body; shifting categories of gender; activism, domesticity, and labor; female anger; and feminist utopias"-- Provided by publisher.
