MO_Schaufenster #41: Guerrilla Girls. “IT’S NOT DEMOCRACY WITHOUT FEMINISM.”
In the organizer's words:
",Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?" With this provocative question, the feminist artists' collective Guerrilla Girls achieved international fame in 1989: How many works of art in New York's largest museum depict women naked as objects - and how many works in the museum were created by women as artistic subjects? The disparity was spectacular.
For 40 years, the activists have been fighting grievances in the international art world with provocative actions and sharp-tongued humor. They draw attention to the lack of representation of women or people of color in art museums,
criticize economic power relations in cultural and educational institutions and intervene in daily political events in the USA with spectacular posters. To this day, the Guerrilla Girls act anonymously and as a collective. During their actions and lectures, they wear gorilla masks as a sign of their anger, but also to make it clear that they are dealing with structural problems: almost any artist could be a guerrilla girl.
Kathe Kollwitz" and "Frida Kahlo" will travel from the USA to accept the award for the collective at the MO_Kunstpreis ceremony on November 30.
