Featured Review from CultureMap
January 14, 2012The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991 is a survey of leading women artists that examines the crucial feminist contribution to the development of deconstructivism in the 1970s and ’80s. As the term suggests, deconstructivism involved taking apart and examining source material, generally borrowed from the mass media, to expose the ways commercial images reveal the mechanisms of power. Women had a particularly high stake in this kind of examination and were disproportionately represented among artists who practiced it.

Featured Review from CultureMap
January 06, 2012Neva Mikulicz is a Houston artist working in pencil on paper drawings combined with projected/embedded videos. The detailed drawings are based on photographs she finds in family albums and archives alike. They represent a return to a baby boomer childhood of the 1950s, but each photograph, in being re-rendered by her pencil, acquires a nearly ineffable unease. It is in this tension that the artist finds her distinct voice.
