Stedelijk Museum Program:
Wednesday, December 14: Seminar - What About Feminism?
Debate at the occasion of Jill Magid’s exhibition ‘Libration Point’ in

and the influence of feminism in contemporary art.

SMCS on 11, Wednesday December 14 2005: What about Feminism?

Starting time: 8 p.m.
Free entrance

replied in case of a double booking)

The twentieth century has been the century of women in the art world 
and her march still is unstoppable. Talented artists like Meret 
Oppenheim, Charley Toorop, Frida Kahlo and Lee Krasner stepped into the 
art historical spotlight, partially due to powerful self-willed 
personalities, to obtain a place in the world of art that had been 
dominated by men for ages. Nowadays, the younger generation doesn’t 
have to fight for that attention any more. It may sufficiently be 
supposed that female artists have as much a sense of humor, lack of 
taste, moralism, eroticism and existentialistic fear of life at their 
disposal as their male colleagues. 

The occasion of the exhibition ‘Jill Magid – Libration Point’ in 
Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam, gives us an immediate cause for 
engaging in a debate that focuses not only a critical view on the 
position of women artists today but also on the influence of feminism, 
and especially feminist art discourse from the 70s up to the 90s, on 
the contemporary art scene.
Have art theory and art production of female artists of the past 35 
years become common property? Is there a continuation in the sequences 
of movements within feminist art theory? And what lies ahead of us? 
After the first and second waves of feminism and Post-feminism, do we 
find ourselves in a period of Neo-feminism? And what does this mean? A 
selection of experts in the field is invited to formulate answers to 
these questions. It might lead to a better perspective on today’s 
importance of the meaning of feminism in art.
