Wet: Mira Schor 1997
‘These self styled guerillas chose as their subject and target, sexism and racism in the art world’
‘No spontaneously formed underground group could imagine that something done out of righteous anger and as a lark could last 5 years and counting.’ STILL TO THIS DAY. ARGUE AND NOTE THE EXISTING GUERILLA GIRLS AND HOW REVOLUTIONARIES STILL LIVE THROUGH COLLECTIVES/GROUPS/LATERAL LIKE ZINES INCREASING.
‘...in response to the Guerilla Girls’ protests, that they have suffered from a “chip that some women have on their shoulders. There is absolutely no discrimination against good women artists. There are just fewer women artists.”- ARGUE, DISCUSS EXISTING ISSUES SINCE 80S AND OWN RESEARCH
‘The art world would certainly need a conscience- especially a gendered one.’
‘The Guerilla Girls work for me and countless other women artists, by keeping the voice of feminism and social justice alive with a leavening sense of humour.’
Pretty In Punk: Lauraine Leblanc 2006
‘Like me she felt troubled about the male-dominated gender dynamics in the punk subculture, a subculture that portrays itself as being egalitarian, and even feminist, but is actually far from being either.’ punk was for a lot of women, an instrument of self empowerment and self liberation to express themselves in an alternative way to how women were expected to look and behave.
Pin Up Grrls- Maria Buszek 2006
MADONNA- page 326 ‘First,Madonna embraced queer culture (reference back to drag queens of 80’s) which produced her most adoring audience...She also paid a homage to to black and Latin American culture in her appropriation of disco and dance sounds, hip hop street gear and dance moves (such as voguing).’
Style aesthetic ‘hallmarks of a postmodern commodity culture where modernist notions of authenticity surrender to postmodern fabrication leading feminists to entertain multiple styles, surfaces, sexualities, and identities that may move us from the margin to the center in coalition acts of resistance and disruption’
Manifesta- Baumgardner and Richards
“Today, the feminist movement has such a firm grip and organic toehold in women’s lives that walking down the street (talking back to harassers), sitting in our offices (refusing to make coffee), nursing the baby (defying people who quail at the sight), or watching tv shows(Xena!Buffy!) can all contain feminism in action” 342
‘...Feminists who came of age in the third wave have an outrageous array of and access to media that their mothers could have hardly imagined-photocopy machines, personal computers, and the internet. ‘
