The ongoing work of the highly original, provocative and influential artists who champion feminism and social change in the 1980s and 1990s comes to RAFFMA Feb. 11-May 20.
“Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Art World and Beyond,” is a major presentation of the feminist art collective’s most iconic campaigns and actions from the last three decades.
An opening reception for the show takes place on Thursday, Feb. 9, from 7-9 p.m. and is open to the public. A special members-only preview and curator-led tour will precede the reception, from 6-7 p.m.
The exhibition of Guerilla Girls illuminates and puts in context their most daring and rarely seen international projects, which trace the Guerrilla Girls' artistic and activist influence around the globe.
The installations are punctuated by documentary material including ephemera from famous actions, behind-the-scenes photos and secret anecdotes that reveal the Guerrilla Girls’ process and the events that drive their incisive institutional interventions.
Visitors can peruse the artists’ favorite “love letters and hate mail,” drawn from almost three decades of humorous, heart-warming and shocking communications. Visitors also are invited to contribute their own views to an interactive wall installation. The multimedia exhibition illustrates that the work of the anonymous, feminist-activist Guerrilla Girls is as vital and revolutionary as ever.
In conjunction with the exhibition, RAFFMA will hold “A Conversation with the Guerrilla Girls” on Thursday, Apr. 13, from 6-8 p.m., a historical and anecdotal presentation of the group’s 28 years of influential and provocative art and activism from an original Guerrilla Girl herself.
“Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Art World and Beyond” is curated by Neysa Page-Lieberman and organized and circulated by Columbia College Chicago.
