General Session Schedule
Audrey Flack abandoned abstract expressionism for realism following her education at Cooper Union. She believes that people desire to understand their environment, and she felt a need to draw realistically and take things a step further in her artwork. Her innovative ideas of realism were used by a group of artists to which she belonged, yet she was not credited for the work. Within the world of photorealism, Flack successfully adds a sense of life to her works that is not found in the original photograph. She does not just paint beautiful works; she includes ideas on the human condition, love and suffering. In projecting slides of her subjects onto a large canvas, Flack is also innovative. She doesn't believe that lines exist in the real world. By painting in this way, she eliminates the need for drawing and therefore line, and thus produces works more grounded in reality. Flack's sense of color is also interesting. She doesn't see color as a material substance, but rather as a system of wavelengths. This view contributes the vibrancy of colors in her work.

General Session Schedule 5th GENERAL SESSION In 1985, a group of women artists founded the Guerrilla Girls. They assumed the names of dead women artists and wore gorilla masks in public, concealing their identities and focusing on the issues rather than their personalities. Between 1985 and 2000, close to 100 women, working collectively and anonymously, produced posters, billboards, public actions, books and other projects to make feminism funny and fashionable. At the turn of the millennium, three separate and independent incorporated groups formed to bring fake fur and feminism to new frontiers.
"We're a bunch of anonymous females who take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks. We have produced posters, stickers, books, printed projects, and actions that expose sexism and racism in politics, the art world, film and the culture at large. We use humor to convey information, provoke discussion, and show that feminists can be funny. We wear gorilla masks to focus on the issues rather than our personalities. Dubbing ourselves the conscience of culture, we declare ourselves feminist counterparts to the mostly male tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Batman, and the Lone Ranger. Our work has been passed around the world by kindred spirits who we are proud to have as supporters. It has also appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, Bitch and Bust; on TV and radio, including NPR, the BBC and CBC; and in countless art and feminist texts. The mystery surrounding our identities has attracted attention. We could be anyone; we are everywhere." |
