Turning the Wheel: The Emergence of Women Artists
A panel discussion with: Kristen Gresh, Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Assistant Curator of Photographs, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Laura Prieto, Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies, Simmons College, Boston. Francine Weiss, Curator, Photographic Resource Center, Boston, and independent scholar. Moderated by Parrish Dobson, Photography Teacher, Buckingham Brown & Nichols School, Cambridge, MA. Organized by New England Women in Photography at Simmons College.
"This panel will place Maier in the context of other women artists, many of whom also faced prejudice and exclusion in their lifetimes. Looking at women artists from the 19th to the current century--including those in the concurrent MFA exhibition "She Who Tells a Story--panelists will illuminate some common threads among women artists from different perspectives and timeframes, not the least of which is how ideas about their own gender have helped or hindered their perceptions of themselves as artists."

Lecture: Janine Antoni
"Janine Antoni is a contemporary artist working in performance art, sculpture and photography. Antoni’s work is process-driven, and relates deeply to the artist’s body as both subject and mode of production. She has made drawings with her eyelashes, used her hair as a paintbrush, cast full body self-portraits in soap, and slept in a gallery for 28 days. Her seductive, culturally loaded materials—chocolate, cosmetics, the artist’s own body—reveal an interest in identity, power, and representations of the feminine in contemporary society. Her work is constantly evolving, pushing the boundaries that separate art from everyday life and objects, while simultaneously challenging her viewers’ assumptions about the world around them."
