Protest and Survive: The Legacy of Collective Action with panelists Marlene McCarty & John Lindell (Gran Fury), Joyce Kozloff (Artists Against the War), Doug Ashford (Group Material), Eugenie Tsai (Godzilla). Moderated by Carey Lovelace.
Gran Fury was an artist/activist collective that formed in the late 1980s and used propaganda such as posters and advertisements to educate their audiences about the AIDS crisis. Around the same time Marlene McCarty became involved with Gran Fury, she founded Bureau, a multidisciplinary design studio that produced art, films, and political work. John Lindell, one of the original members of Gran Fury, is a filmmaker whose works focus on the gay language and experience.
Artists Against the War is a anti-war collective based in New York. One of its members, Joyce Kozloff is also one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the 1970s; her work can be seen in WACK! She often collaborates with fellow members of Artists Against the War on projects and exhibitions designed to protest the military interventions.
Group Material was formed in the early 1980s dedicated to democratic mobilization within the art world by transforming museums and art centers into places of public forum.From the early 1980s Doug Ashford helped produce numerous exhibitions and public projects until 1997 when Group Material disbanded.
Godzilla was founded in 1990 by Ken Chu as a network of Asian and Pacific Islander visual artists and arts professionals active in New York City. Eugenie Tsai is one of the early members of Godzilla, which focused on a range of issues including the lack of Asian artists and professionals in the arts and racial, cultural and sexual stereotypes.
The panel is moderated by Carey Lovelace, who is an art journalist, playwright, and independent curator. She has curated an exhibition, Making it Together: Women’s Collaborative Art and Community, which opens at The Bronx Museum of Art in early March.
Co-presented by P.S.1 and The Museum of Modern Art's Feminist Future Series, which is made possibly by The Modern Women's Fund.
4pm in the Third Floor Main Gallery.
Pink Bloque Revisited, an interactive workshop with re-united members of the radical Chicago street dance troupe. Using pink clothing and contemporary pop music, Pink Bloque sparked political-driven dialogue in an effort to educate society about issues about war to gender discrimination to the Patriot Act. For P.S.1, Pink Bloque will speak about the history of the group and its activism.
Free with admission.
