Art/Lit Salon: Katy Hessel and guests
Event details
Art/Lit Salon: Where We Are Now (in the Story of Art Without Men) (In person) Join us for chat, discussion, drinks and thought-provocation at Art/Lit, event, which explores all things art, all things literature and where the two forms collide. Ticket required separately £12+ fee. Details to attendees. As the paperback of Katy Hessel’s groundbreaking book, The Story of Art Without Men, comes out, and two years after it originally hit the shelves, we consider where we’re at now in terms of the prominence and status of women’s and non-binary people’s art in our culture today. How much progress has been made? How intersectional is that progress? And is the dial – and the artworld - finally shifting? In conversation with Katy, are two curators and art writers working at the very coalface. Dr Dorothy Price is a curator and art historian, whose recent RA exhibitions, Making Modernism and Entangled Pasts, respectively gave a platform to the work of previously neglected women artists and considered art through the prism of colonialism. Chris Bayley is a curator and writer, whose most recent exhibition at the Serpentine is Judy Chicago: Revelations, which brings together work by the legendary feminist artist who has long challenged the artistic canon, in particular in her iconic installation The Dinner Party.
