VIRTUAL GIG: ARTNIGHT
The Guerrilla Girls will present a multi-media run-through of their decades of activism. Along the way they will share their trade secrets about how they have used facts and humor to confront racism, sexism and corruption in the art world. Special emphasis will be on their project for Art Night: The Male Graze which will consist of billboards across the UK and a website. The billboards will ask museum goers to count women artists and naked female figures in their favorite museums and send the data to the Guerrilla Girls for comment. The website will document the art world’s enduring love affair with bad male behavior in art and give visitors a chance to tell their stories. make comments and offer apologies if needed.
At the end of the presentation there will be a short Q and A with the virtual audience. This one hour gig just might change the way we all look at art. Don’t miss it!
