Exhibit will run from March 6th 2010 - April 2nd 2010
Opening Reception Saturday March 6th 7-9pm
In 1972, artist Judy Chicago and a team of students from the California Institute of the Arts Feminist Art Program restored an abandoned mansion in Hollywood. This became “Womanhouse”: a three dimensional canvas for the first ever exhibit of feminist art.
Fredonia students are revisiting Judy Chicago’s theme with a few changes of their own. Led by senior art history Major Kaitlen Gillis, the exhibit is set to open March 6th 2010 - April 2nd 2010 at the Adam’s Art Gallery. Hours will be Fridays 4-7pm and Saturdays 12-4pm throughout the month additional hours may be posted on the website http://www.adamsart.org .
The exhibit pays homage to Chicago’s original installation while expanding into something contemporary. Some of the “Rearranging Womanhouse” projects include a garden made of recycled garbage, and a space called the “womb room”.
This exhibit is an opportunity for the Dunkirk/Fredonia community to show their support for the SUNY Fredonia students and the wonderful programs offered at the college. The exhibit is free of charge and can been seen at Adam’s Art Gallery 600 Central Avenue Dunkirk NY.
Other exhibits scheduled in the near future is the Urbscheit 2010 High School Art Show April 16th 2010 - May 14th 2010, information about these shows, volunteer opportunities or to participate can be obtained by emailing adams.art@live.com
