ABOUT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GODDESSES 3.0\u00a0is conceived as a contemporary, feminist inquiry into the idea of the goddess \u2013 not as a fixed mythological figure, but as an\u00a0elastic\u00a0framework through which artists address power, embodiment, ritual, resistance, and cultural memory. The exhibition places historical feminist practices in dialogue with contemporary work, foregrounding both lineage and reinvention across generations and media.\u00a0In addition to video, drawing, performance, sculpture, prints, and multimedia, various items from popular culture are represented.\u00a0A\u00a0number of\u00a0historically significant\u00a0artists\u00a0are featured, and works on view include the\u00a0pioneering\u00a0Dara Birnbaum video\u00a0Technology\/Transformation: Wonder Woman<\/em>\u00a0from 1978.\u00a0Other represented artists include: \u00a0Vanessa Beecroft,\u00a0gwen\u00a0charles,\u00a0Myrlande\u00a0Constant, Mary Beth Edelson, Chitra Ganesh, Geri Hahn, Donna Kessinger\u00a0(video documentary),\u00a0Pat\u00a0Lay, Mariko Mori, Julie Ann Nagle, Carolee Schneemann, and Nancy Spero.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was curated by Sydney O. Jenkins, Director of the Art Galleries, and feminist artist and curator Donna Kessinger.<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
Kairos, Occasio, and Fortuna are complex facets of the same goddess of luck, but at a certain moment in time a troubling, schizophrenic iconography came into being, which cast Lady Luck as a distinctively female force, both a capricious agent controlling the Wheel of Fortune and also as a body that could be either violently seized or wildly adored. This lecture will explore the uneasy gendering of Fortuna in some early modern images such as an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi in the Metropolitan Museum that bears the descriptive title\u00a0A Naked Man Holding Fortune by the Hair and Whipping Her<\/em>. Rather than simply cancelling an image as such, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect upon the ideological work that such artworks accomplished in their own time and to push us to think about how we can and must make sense of them as twenty-first-century viewers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Film Screening - Ask the Goddess<\/a><\/div>02:30 pm - 04:30 pm<\/span>
G126<\/a><\/div>

As part of the\u00a0GODDESSES 3.0<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>exhibition, on view February 25 – April 10, the Ramapo College Art Galleries are pleased to present a screening of Carolee Schneemann’s Ask the Goddess <\/em>(1991).<\/p>\n

Ask the Goddess<\/em> is a provocative performance in which Schneemann interacts with the audience by responding to sexual and psychic dilemmas read from cards they have submitted. A continuous relay of projected slides comprises an iconography of Goddess symbols, taboo and sacred, including images of animal attributes. Schneemann reacts spontaneously to the questions; she channels cogent answers triggered by the unpredictable images and finds herself physically activated, turning into a howling wolf or crawling across the projection area, squealing like a pig. (Description via Electronic Arts Intermix).<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE: This film contains adult content.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion featuring Rachel Churner<\/a>, director of the Carolee Schneemann Foundation, Julie Nagle<\/a>, professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Donna Kessinger<\/a>, co-curator of GODDESSES 3.0 <\/em>and feminist video artist.<\/p>\n
