WHAT: Wild Girls at Exit Art, featuring a bold international group of fearless, transgressive, provocative, challenging, pioneering, astute, fabulous, strong and obsessive women artists who are breaking new boundaries, asking challenging questions and creating groundbreaking visions of everything from gender issues to the mundane aspects of daily life. Building on the innovations of the women that have come before them, these artists are transforming the language of feminism for the 21st century. Each of these women artists adds to the global feminist dialogue as they bring their unique cultural perspectives that reflect customs from their countries of origin that include Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Puerto Rico, India, Japan, Turkey and the United States.
HISTORY: The pioneering generation of women artists who called themselves feminists in the 1960s and 70s made work that confronted the viewer with the hard facts of female life. In the 1980s and 90s women artists became more aggressive in their dialogue of women’s issues by infusing media, such as LED signs, billboards, and comics, with their own shocking and personal messages. Wild Girls nods to previous generations, but casts a wide net of new names that give a collective look at the 21st Century woman artist. This generation displays a new strength and courage that addresses the familiar themes of identity, eroticism, vanity, and mythology.

Art Reviews of Wild Girls
| New York Blade July 31, 2006 | unknown | "...It’s surprising that it is taking longer for the art world to achieve gender parity than other professions, such as medicine or law. “Wild Girls” gives us an eye into the future of women in art, one that is both illuminating and refreshingly disquieting...." |
