It would be interesting, in a group exhibit like this, to have each artist address the group theme as well as her own art in her statement (assuming there are statements).

The ones I took myself all have reflections from the glass frames. The connection to seventies feminist to art was made by the press release. I thought the connection seemed a bit forced in terms of much of the work in the show. Its also not a subject I know a lot about. Plus there are all sorts of ways I could get in trouble by delving into the subject further. According to the release: <blockquote>Her Mark: Works on Paper by Women Artists is celebrating the accomplishments of women in the arts. In the 1990's Gender and Identity became a prominent subject in the arts, pulling strength from the American Women's Art Movement in the 1970's women's movement. Her Mark will exhibit the works of eight artists printmakers that have been also teaching in the field of art.</blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> I put in a request for some pictures.

As someone who won't be able to see it, I appreciate your connections of these artists to others, like Schwitters, with which we might be familiar. It helps put the work in context. I also found the connection to the women art collectives intersting. Is that something you thought of or is it in their intent to continue that tradition? Isn't Her Mark the title of a book of feminist art criticism as well or am I making that up? Did I miss a link to more images? I would love to see the chess one. I wish I could see this show.
