Women Painting at MDC
May 18 - September 30, 2017
Gallery Hours: Wednesday & Saturday, 11am-5pm
Curated by Michelle Weinberg and Sarah Michelle Rupert
Girls’ Club presents Women Painting, featuring 52 works from the collection of Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz.
Inspired by Emile de Antonio’s era-defining 1972 documentary film “Painters Painting”, Women Painting is an exhibit, video and catalog that attest to the vibrancy and relevance of the practice of painting by women, from the 1970s to the present day.
As contemporary art evolves along the lines of greater interactivity via the use of technology (interdisciplinary forms, new media, performance and spectacle, social action, video, online and virtual reality) Girls’ Club focuses on the practice of painting, a technology with a long, more nuanced history. Focusing on the rich, momentous space between the artist and her painting support, the action occurs within the private space of the artists’ studio and the “arena” of the painting.
In conjunction with the exhibit, a series of interviews were recorded in the creation of a video exploring artists' practice, pursuits and creative drives while illuminating the public on the particular experiences of women, painting, as well as a published catalog.
The exhibition is on view at the Miami Dade College Kendall Gallery, in partnership with the Miami Dade College Galleries of Art + Design, in Miami, FL. For additional information about MDC galleries, please call 305-237-7700.
