Making Space: Beyond a Room
Catalog of the exhibition, Making Space: Beyond a Room. The introduction reads: Making Space: Beyond a Room is an exhibition of works in varied media that builds upon Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay A Room of One’s Own, in which she describes what makes – and what prevents – a conducive creative environment for women artists to work. Speaking frankly on historic gender adversity, Woolf calls for independence and privacy as inviolable requirements for production of great works by women. She demands that female artists have not only the economic means to support themselves, but access to a private, controlled space: a room of one’s own…The twenty-five works from the collection of Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz on view in Making Space were selected for their expressions of space. Space for creative contemplation and production are evident, from a multitude of individual perspectives. Some works reveal the challenges and paradoxes inherent in enjoying independence and privacy. Other contemplate e mental space wherein creative inspiration lies, and they imagine a physical manifestation of those intangible places. Participating artists include: Teresa Diehl, Peggy Levison Nolan, Ania Moussawel, Rosemarie Chiarlone, Lee Materazzi, among others.
