Matter Mind Spirit: 12 Contemporary Indiana Women Artists is now being viewed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., through May 7. The exhibition, organized by the Indiana Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, will return to IU's School of Fine Arts Gallery in Bloomington May 15-30. And before the exhibition returns to Indiana's borders, Peg Zeglin Brand, Judith Vale Newton and Jean Robertson, all of whom were instrumental in the publication of the exhibiton's catalog, are scheduled to speak about the works Tuesday, April 25, at 7 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Bloomington. Robertson, an art historian at the Herron School of Art at IUPUI, is the catalog's general author and organizer of the exhibition. In essays included in the catalog, Robertson, Brand and Newton consider issues of importance to women artists, the history of women in Indiana's artistic heritage and the roles women artists play in defining Indiana's cultural identity. Brand, who teaches philosophy and gender studies at IUB, team-taught a
class with Robertson and artist Judy Chicago last semester on the IUB
campus. She will talk about her newest book, Beauty Matters, an
exploration of the values and politics of beauty as they affect daily
life. |
