Institution:

Cornell College

Subject:

Description:

The 1960s and 1970s were decades of enormous rebellion and change. Women were involved in both public and private battles to explore and expose traditional assumptions about gender, race, class, and especially sexuality. Women artists used their bodies to challenge the prevailing ideology of the time. This course will examine and discuss the provocative body artwork created and performed by women artists primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. This course will be conducted as a workshop, will include several in-depth assigned readings, viewing videos and slides pertaining to this work, several response papers, and projects involving using your own body as art.
