New Wave asked me to blog for today, which led me to wonder where everyone else in the house went. Hello? ((echo))

(O) WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution @ MOCA Downtown L.A., March 14-July 16 Grade: B+
This exhibit doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it does explore a wide range of somewhat serious concerns: the sexuality of women, the male gaze (which still exists), the role of women in society, etc. It looks at the definitions of women as gender (defined by society) versus women as sex (defined by biology). The exhibit highlights for me were an original copy of the S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Valerie Solanas, who shot Andy Warhol in 1968; an Eleanor Antin photography piece, in which she disects the process of a sculptor; and the mattress room. Take a looksee if you get the chance.
