加州奥克兰博物馆购入加州女权主义艺术家的重要当代作品,以妇女、有色人种、残疾人、女同性恋者等的声音为中心。

(OAKLAND, CA) 6月 5, 2023 — Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) has announced the acquisition of significant works by artists featured in its popular recent exhibition Hella Feminist, which explored the multifaceted history of feminism in the Bay Area and beyond and was on view in the Great Hall 七月 2022 through 一月 2023.  OMCA has added nine works to its permanent collection by artists Xandra Ibarra, Inés Ixierda and Lacy Johnson, Lena Wolff and Hope Meng, Shizu Saldamando, Katherine Sherwood and Miriam Klein Stahl. A list of the works may be found below. Images of the works are linked here.

“We are proud, humble and grateful to add this significant group of works to OMCA’s collections by artists that speak to the experience of historically marginalized people such as women, people of color, people with disabilities, lesbian communities and others,” says Lori Fogarty, OMCA  Director and CEO. “This group of artworks expands the Museum’s ability to tell the stories of the diverse peoples and cultures of California, their identities and the dynamics of power between and among them, and help people and groups find and tell their own stories.”

“The works we have added to the collections include large-scale painting, photographs, video, multimedia, sound collage and sculpture,” says Peggy Monahan, OMCA Director of Content Development. “Each represents compelling points of view based on lived experience and activism. Collectively, they convey a strong sense of the relevance and issues feminists face in Oakland and internationally in a time of great challenge and change.”

Hella Feminist was the first major exhibition in OMCA’s history to focus explicitly on feminism. The exhibition featured stories of everyday people and acts of intersectional feminist resistance. Organized by Carin Adams, Erendina Delgadillo, and Lisa Silberstein, the exhibition unabashedly examined this complex topic by exploring powerful, lesser-known stories about feminism in the Bay Area and California over the last 100 years, as well as the timely issues that our society faces today.

The interdisciplinary project highlighted the OMCA’s collection; artifacts that had never been on view were exhibited alongside important artworks created by Ruth Asawa, Judy Dater, Agnes Pelton and Anne Brigman, among others. However, it was the important work of contemporary California artists not currently represented in OMCA’s collection that animated the gallery and defined the exhibition experience. Each of these unique works was essential to the relevance of the exhibition and proved vital to uplifting untold and under-told stories.

安吉拉-戴维斯-抓住时间
大厅
至2023年6月18日
安吉拉-戴维斯-抓住时间 是一个以戴维斯和她的形象为主题的展览。该展览与罗格斯大学的齐默里艺术博物馆合作举办,对戴维斯的旅程进行了引人注目的、有层次的叙述。利用位于奥克兰的安吉拉-戴维斯档案馆作为展览的核心和来源,参观者有机会研究我们如何记忆、保存和激活激进的黑人历史,同时也让我们重新想象戴维斯作为美国黑人激进抵抗、女性赋权和对白人父权现状的威胁的标志的形象构建。
除了档案和流行文化的参考,展览将安吉拉-戴维斯定位为当代艺术家的持续试金石,参考了大规模监禁、黑人生活问题和经济权利的剥夺。当代艺术作品肯定了戴维斯作为黑人女权主义知识分子的重要性,并将她作为一个更大的叙事中的历史参与者,而不仅仅是作为激进时尚的一个无根的形象。
