October 8 – November 28 — Apart/Together
Form + Content Gallery presents Apart/Together, a group exhibition of work in a variety of media by gallery members and interns.
One of the artists, Patricia Olson, writes, “I am discouraged when stereotypical negative adjectives have been used to describe female politicians. It has occurred to me, however, that these slurs are most often used when the women in question are being the most effective. As female politicians have gained power and access in our electoral system, and are increasingly a threat to the white patriarchal status quo, they encounter verbal abuse — and not only by their opponents.”
Her series boldly presents the negative words heard in media discourse, with their translations superimposed in small, but persistent, type.
The exhibit can be viewed by appointment. Details: formandcontent.org
