A look-back conversation about lesbian art and art-making from the 90s to now, including crazy parties, girls in bathtubs, and why skewering the male-centric art world remains so much fun. (Part 2)
Thanks, so great, I was in NYC in the 90s, different dyke scene, same goals...someone told me there was a bootleg of my films that Nicole Eisenmann had seen, I hung out a bit with Siobhan Liddell, hung out with Sarah Schulman, and Abigail Child, had a couple of affairs. with women artists (I won't name them)..the NYC scene was so much more interesting than London which was just racist and weird about class...I vageuley knew Carrie and Joy, and also Zoe Leonard, what a time it was
it was, and remains, a critical, rich era of feminist and lesbian art-making, and I've just scratched the surface here. What's so compelling is how so many women have gone on to make such wonderful, important work. I just start going down rabbit holes of shows, one artist leading to another, which is more fun for me. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you can catch the UK shows coming up, and possibly Munich, too. Ridykeulously fun. - ac
