"On the outside of the converted Chinatown warehouse that houses Beyond the Streets, a massive poster by the feminist art collective Guerrilla Girls has been installed. In bold letters on a bright red background it reads, “Don’t let museums reduce art to the small number of artists who have won a popularity contest among big-time dealers, curators, and collectors. If museums don’t show art as diverse as the cultures they claim to represent, tell them they’re not showing the history of art, they are just preserving the history of wealth and power.” The piece might as well be a mission statement for the show inside."

GUERRILLA GIRLS: IS IT EVEN WORSE IN EUROPE, Whitechapel Gallery, London, 2016 – March 2017
In 2016 we re-examined a 1986 poster, It’s Even Worse in Europe, to find out how things were going for women and artists of color in Europe. We sent almost 400 questionnaires to European museums and kunsthalles and let them explain the situation in their own words. We got 100 replies and made an exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery in London. The 300 who ignored our request? We put their names on the floor where visitors walked all over them.

GUERRILLA GIRLS TWIN CITY TAKEOVER: WALKER ART CENTER, MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ART, CITY STREET PROJECTS, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, January 2016 – January 2017
From small non-profit art centers to major cultural institutions in the region, the Takeover included over twenty arts and cultural organizations in Minneapolis/St. Paul and surrounding cities, highlighting gender and race inequalities, to take on stereotypes and hypocrisies, and promote artistic expression by the often overlooked and underrepresented.

GUERRILLA GIRLS: NOT READY TO MAKE NICE, 30 YEARS AND STILL COUNTING, Abrons Art Center, NYC, 2015
In May 1985 we put our first posters up on the streets of New York. May 2015 marked three decades of fighting discrimination and corruption in the world of art, film, politics and pop culture. To mark the occassion, the Abrons Art Center, hosted a pop up exhibition of our work that included nearly all of our posters, stickers and billboards from 1985 to 2015, and a wall where anyone could write us a message or complain about issues they care about. Thanks so much to everyone who came to the exhibition, walkthroughs, birthday party and went stickering with us in Chelsea!

Guerrilla Girls 1985-2013, Alhondiga, Bilbao  2013-2014 and GUERRILLA GIRLS 1985-2015, Matadero, Madrid 2015
Xabier Arakistain, curator, feminist and longtime supporter of the Guerrilla Girls, curated a retrospective exhibition of Guerrilla Girls' work from 1985-2013 at the massive cultural center, Alhóndiga Bilbao in Spain. With hundreds of works, including over 70 posters and banners, video, and 13 tables displaying hundreds of smaller projects, correspondence, ephemera, and street photos. In 2015 the exhibition opened at the contemporary art center, Matadero Madrid.

NOT READY TO MAKE NICE: GUERRILLA GIRLS IN THE ARTWORLD AND BEYOND, Columbia College, Chicago, 2012
Curated by Neysa Page-Lieberman, Not Ready to Make Nice, comprises ten years of Guerrilla Girls posters, billboards, books, sticker campaigns and banners, including large scale projects done for the Venice Biennale, Istanbul, Ireland, Hollywood and Washington DC. This exhibition has since traveled to over ten venues, internationally.

ALWAYS A LITTLE FURTHER, 51st Venice Biennale, 2005
Curated by Rosa Martinez, the 51st Venice Biennale was the first ever curated by women since its inception in 1895. For the exhibition we created six 17-foot posters that took on the Biennale itself (Benvenuti alla Biennale Femminista!), the museums of Venice (Where are the women artists of Venice?), the Bush administration (Women's Terror Alert!), the Artworld (Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? 2005 Update), and Hollywood (The Birth of Feminism Movie Poster).

GUERRILLA GIRLS REVIEW THE WHITNEY (GUERRILLA GIRLS SURVEY THE SURVEY), THE CLOCKTOWER, 1987
The Clocktower, a New York exhibition space, asked us to do a show during the Whitney Museum of American Art's Biennial in 1987. They expected us to do a show of art we thought should be in the Biennial. Instead, we decided to do an exhibition of information exposing the museum's pathetic and worsening record on women and artists of color. All of the statistics came from the museum's own publications, and a “deep throat” passed us confidential information about the lives of the museum's trustees.
