Hidden Cities 2011 National WCA Juried Exhibition Prospectus: "Hidden Cities" - No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City , a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions. These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side. Artists are invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City, real or imagined, in an array of media. The theme may be broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context. Convince the viewer of its viability, a live space filled with passion and imagination.

She is the second person to occupy that post in the museum's 30 year history. Since it's founding in 1977, the New Museum has had a unique role in the New York art world as a leading destination for new art and new ideas and is Manhattan 's only dedicated contemporary art museum. She lectures on contemporary art at museums throughout the world and has served as a Visiting Critic at Yale University and as a panelist and juror for the National Endowment for the Arts, New York City Public Art Commission, and the Fulbright Fellowship Review Committee. Under Ms. Phillips direction, it is respected internationally for the adventurousness and global scope of its curatorial program. In 2003, with the Board, she initiated a major capital campaign to fund a new building project that resulted in a 60,000 square foot new world class cultural destination which opened in 2007 designed by the cutting edge firm, SANAA. In late 2007, the New Museum opened on the Bowery, having raised over $64 million and having established an endowment for the first time in the Museum's history. She has more than doubled the New Museum's income and membership; increased profile and visibility through higher quality programming, rebranding, and marketing initiatives; expanded Board from fifteen to thirty-eight members; developed long term partnerships with corporations like Target, Altoids, and Bloomberg LP; dramatically expanded education and youth programs; and took on Rhizome, a new media organization as an affiliate. Prior to joining the New Museum , Phillips, was a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. She organized such landmark exhibitions as "The American Century Part II: Art and Culture" (1999), "Beat Culture and the New America: 1950-1965" (1995), "Frederick Kiesler" (1989), and "Image World: Art and Media Culture" (1989). She presided over mid-career surveys of Richard Prince (1992), Terry Winters (1992), and Cindy Sherman (1987), in addition to overseeing the 1997 Biennial Exhibition and serving on the curatorial team for each Biennial between 1985 and 1993.

“Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze”

CALL FOR ART!

Proposal: “Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze”

Ceres Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, New York, NY

May 24th through June 18th, 2011

The Women’s Caucus for Art (www.nationalwca.org), a leading supporter of women artists since 1972, is requesting art on the theme of “Men as Object: Reversing the Gaze”. This proposal for an exhibition for Ceres Gallery is a collaboration between the Northern California, South Bay Area and Michigan WCA chapters and is open to all US women artists.

Send the following to karengutfreund@yahoo.com

• Images that pertain to the theme
• Image list with number, title, media, size and date for each image
• Artist resume

Deadline to send images: Wednesday April 14th

The art we receive will be given to Ceres as a proposal for an exhibition. If we are chosen, we will have another call for art that will allow artists time to create new work. Please also email karengutfreund@yahoo.com if you would like to be kept on the mailing list for this and other feminist projects.

Prospectus for “Reversing the Gaze”

Since the early years of Feminist Art, women artists have responded to their subjugation in art by male artists by using their own bodies as the subject matter in their work. We credit feminist art of the 1970’s with giving artists today the “permission to be personal”.

There is a difference in women’s art from the work of male counterparts. We see the nude woman from different angles. The feminist artist chooses a personal vantage point, apart from that seen in men’s portrayals of women. The thesis of woman as both surveyor and the surveyed continues.

“Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of women in herself is male: the surveyed female…thus she turns herself into an object- and most particularly an object of vision: a sight”. Ways of Seeing, by John Berger

The goal of this exhibition “Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze” is to turn the tables and to exhibit works that put the male in the position of subject and spectacle. Not only will the male be taking on the female role, but the surveyor is now female, no longer a “masculine” part of the female, thus creating a truly Feminist stance. The male is the spectacle for a woman’s enjoyment or mere viewing.

This is effective in two ways: as the male viewer encounters the male nude, he is forced like many women before him to turn the mirror on himself and secondly to feel the powerlessness of being owned or submissive. The individualism of the artist, the thinker, the patron, the owner, and the woman is transformed. The person who is the object of their activities, the man, is treated as a thing or an abstraction. By reversing the unequal relationship between men and women that is so deeply embedded in our culture, men will do to themselves what they have done to women for centuries. They observe themselves and their own masculinity as women observe their own femininity.

This exhibition will explore women’s responses to a male dominated world in a different way than an exhibition of women’s images of themselves. It will mark an important development in Feminist Art which has long concentrated on images of women meant to challenge stereotypical notions of womanhood.

A gallery filled with works depicting men, created by women, comments on the prevalence of the male gaze in art and of the continued domination of male artists exhibiting in galleries and museums.
