Open Process Series: Clips and Conversation - 'THE HERETICS' and 'WOMEN ART REVOLUTION'
Bay Area Women in Film and Media and Intersection for the Arts are proud to present a cinematic evening of "Clips and Conversation" featuring a sneak peak at two new soon-to-be released documentary films: THE HERETICS and WOMEN ART REVOLUTION - both focusing on aspects of the feminist art movement and feminist art pioneers.
THE HERETICS (www.heresiesfilmproject.org) by award-winning filmmaker Joan Braderman reveals the inside story of Heresies, a feminist art collective and magazine at the epicenter of the 1970s art world, Lower Manhattan.
WOMEN ART REVOLUTION, (http://www.womenartrevolution.com - now in post-production and to be completed in Spring of 2010), by acclaimed Bay Area artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson, reveals how the Feminist Art Movement fused free speech and politics into an art that radically transformed the art and culture of our times.
Join our featured guests for a rare opportunity to not only view sneak peaks of clips from these two, exciting new documentaries but also take part in an intimate, post-screening discussion about the making of these films and the art and politics surrounding the feminist art movement.
FEATURED GUESTS:
Crescent Diamond, Producer, THE HERETICS
Lynn Hershman Leeson (invited guest), Writer/Director/Producer/Editor, WOMEN ART REVOLUTION
Margaret Harrison (invited guest), Artist, The Bodies Are Back
Jillian Sandell, Associate Professor in the Department of Women and Gender Studies at San Francisco State University
Simone Nelson, Moderator and President, Bay Area Women in Film and Media (BAWIFM)

'The Bodies Are Back' by Margaret Harrison
Opening Reception: Wednesday February 10, 2010, 7 - 9pm
Members Only VIP Reception: Wednesday February 10, 2010, 6 - 7pm
Margaret Harrison, renowned British artist and pioneer of feminist art, revisits the themes of her very early work exploring notions of the human body as an object of sexuality, consumption, and gaze. The Bodies Are Back consists of works on paper that Harrison produced in the late 1960's/early 1970's displayed alongside new works created for this show. In 1971, Harrison's work was instantly met with controversy and antagonism (the London police shut down her first solo exhibition the day after it opened feeling that its contents were too controversial). This controversy caused Harrison to abandon the issues and themes of this series. Now an established artist with work in the permanent collections of major international institutions, she is critically re-engaging with this body of work, continuing the dialogue that she began four decades ago.

"'Mirrors' shines with particular brilliance." - Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Mirrors in Every Corner reflects all kinds of wonderful things, most notably a young playwright making a sensational debut and a theatrical collaboration that doesn’t just talk about change but makes it." - Chad Jones, Theater Dogs
Come early on Saturday nights to hear DJ Treat U Nice spin live before the show!
Evan Bissell's dual art installation and scenic design is open and FREE during gallery hours Wednesdays through Saturdays 12pm- 5pm. Come, view, read, write and interact with this special installation.
