This diverse and compelling collection of contemporary feminist visual art is now available in a paperback edition. Reframings makes visible what has been for too long nearly invisible: contemporary feminist visual art that represents a remarkable range of perspectives, styles, and subject matter. The forty-five women who created these works -- artists and writers such as Deborah Willis, Carrie Mae Weems, Nan Goldin, and Carm Little Turtle -- are connected by a belief that images are political and that today's feminist concerns cannot be separated from such issues as ethnicity, class, age, and sexuality. They share a consciousness that historically women have been \u0022framed\u0022 and can now be \u0022reframed.\u0022
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Reframings makes a tremendous contribution to the field of photography, art, and feminist theory. There is a definite need to reflect on the representation of women through the eyes of feminist artists and critics and probe issues in new and provocative ways -- this book does just that. The multiple perspectives and voices of these women ensure an incredibly rich and diverse analysis of what is 'American' and what is 'feminism.'" --Constance Wolf, Associate Director, Whitney Museum of American Art "This path breaking book unmasks a key artist movement long neglected by the photography establishment: the canonbusting contribution of feminist photographers over the past decade. Besides providing a comprehensive look at the seldom seen work of over 30 artists, this volume constitutes a major intervention into the discourse of photography criticism. Diane Neumaier and her stellar cast of critics and artists supply the missing pieces in the puzzle of postmodernism." -- Brian Wallis, contributing editor, Art in America "This is an ambitious, exceptional book in its scope, breadth, and inclusiveness....Neumaier does not shy away from the difficult questions that conflicting interpretations present. Instead she embraces of diversity of opinion and, at times, conflicting points of view to explore a wide range of American feminist issues and experiences."
--Choice "Providing visibility to feminist photographers and theorists, and emphasizing the interrelation of the two, Reframings expands the parameters of feminist discourse, while at the same time collecting a canon to which scholars might refer in the future." --after-image
