//////////// Riscoprire le eccezionali DONNE Artiste Pop

La Rassegna Artistica mira alla reinterpretazione della POP Art - movimento artistico che fino ad oggi è stata associato principalmente ai protagonisti maschili.

• Plastica, colori forti, forme inusuali, e contorni grafici - 9 DONNE Artiste, pioniere del femminismo, mettono in mostra le loro Opere che sono simili a quelle dei loro colleghi di sesso maschile ma molto più accattivanti ed intriganti.

Espongono il mito delle materie prime con ironia trasformando oggetti del quotidiano in oggetti kitsch di grandi dimensioni come Jann Haworth, o esplorano luoghi comuni nei mezzi di comunicazione di massa e costruzioni da guinness come Rosalyn Drexler.

Corita, Artista & attivista impegnata per la PACE, ha preso una posizione chiara su eventi sociali e politici degli anni ‘60 come la guerra del Vietnam.

Le Artiste Evelyne Axell o Dorothy Iannone provocatoriamente visualizzano il corpo nudo, l'amore e la sessualità, e, come Niki de Saint Phalle, attira l'attenzione dello spettatore con i modi sofisticati di auto-presentazione.

The next great moment in history is ours ! - Dorothy Iannone

/////////////////// ENGLISH VERSION //////////////////
Rediscovering outstanding women Pop artists, POWER UP fulfills Dorothy Iannone’s combative promise after fifty years. The show aims at the reinterpretation of an art movement that until today has primarily been associated with male protagonists.

Plastic, loud colors, reduced forms, and graphic contours – the nine women artists’ works on display resemble those of their male colleagues in many respects. Whereas their works appeal to the taste of the masses, these artists, as pioneers of Feminism, have remained belligerent and critical.

They reveal the consumer culture’s superficiality, exposing the commodity myth as an empty shell like Christa Dichgans, ironically transforming everyday objects to oversized kitsch objects like Jann Haworth, or exploring mass media clichés and superstar constructions like Rosalyn Drexler. Like Sister Corita, a committed peace activist, they took a clear stand on the sixties’ social and political events such as the Vietnam War.

The exhibition pursues its political perspective in those instances where the era’s current notions of what a woman is are revised by different views: Kiki Kogelnik and Marisol describe the corset in which the representation of women by themselves and by others is caught, while Evelyne Axell or Dorothy Iannone provocatively display the nude body, love, and sexuality, and, like Niki de Saint Phalle, attract the viewer’s attention with sophisticated modes of self-presentation.
