Feminist Art in SF

Check out Amber Whiteside's review and analysis in the SF Bay Guardian of the art exhibit "The Way That We Rhyme: Women, Art & Politics." The exhibit is at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission, SF) through June 29th.

Whiteside points to the emergence of more feminist art shows, but wonders if too much of it has been "regurgitations of the same old feminist art show with the same discourse, participants, and audience." This show, though, she thinks breaks the mold to some extent. However, she asks an important question about feminist art, and indeed about feminist space and movement in general: "While I understand the rationale for creating a dedicated space for women's art, I think in some ways it only further marginalizes women. Let's integrate women's political art into the larger context and invite men to participate, reminding them that feminism is — and has always been — about men too."

Good point. What do you think?

Regardless, the show definitely seems worth checking out.
