To engage with the history of ideas or the history of art, as a woman, is to jump into a century-spanning conversation where the topics of discussion and the rules of engagement have long ago been set by men. In this lecture, Erica Mendritzki will explore how artists like Rosemarie Trockel, Louise Lawler and Ana Mendieta have subverted, admired, parodied and taken revenge on the patriarchal canon.
Free! Everyone welcome!
