CINE Associate Professor Jeanne Liotta is screening film work as part of a group exhibition titled听Feminism and the Legacy of Surrealism听put on by in New York City. "The artists in this show have been brought together by their affinity for the artistic and conceptual strategies of surrealism, using them to articulate a feminist perspective grounded in personal experience. While not surrealists themselves, they are a part of its legacy, taking up surrealism 鈥� which produced more important women artists than any other modernist movement 鈥� in its ability to tap into the unconscious."
The exhibition听showcases work by听Betsy Damon,听Brenda Goodman,听June Leaf,听Jeanne Liotta,听Caitlin Keogh,听Anne Minich,听Elizabeth Murray, and听Elaine Stocki. "They听play with a private symbolism that merges elements of subjectivity with dream imagery and references to mass media. Seen together, the works in this show display a biting wit in the visceral quality of both their images and materiality." The show is open from Thursday, January 13 to听Saturday, February 19. Congratulations Jeanne!听
