Notes: Monographs and individual artists' exhibition catalogues are not included in this list, except where they are explicitly feminist and provide a key role model for feminist art practice. You can look at exhibitions and anthologies separately by moving to those pages.
For authors' last names use capital letter first. For those beginning with "A", type "A" or use the first 3 letters of their last name.
The country search uses full English names, e.g. The Netherlands, except for USA and UK. "International" (use Capital "I") is the category used for projects where artists from more than 3 countries are involved. Books and exhibitions under "International" are in addition to those listed as individual countries. New sections have been added for geographical regions/ continents: Asia, Africa, Pacific, Middle East, South America, Scandanavia. These categories are in addition to individual countries listed. So, for searches in Africa, look also in Nigeria and Egypt.
The title search is limited to words used in the title, it does not provide a keyword or subject search facility. This search is for one word only, no boolean (multiple) searches are supported. Artists' last names can also be searched in the title section, if they are in a book or exhibition title.

Below is a list of key books from the database, listed alphabetical by author's last name. (It's not comprehensive, and your search for names may reveal more!)

Parveen Adams The Emptiness of the Image: Psychoanalysis and Sexual Differences (Routledge, 1995) More

This article was first published by Katy Deepwell in Women's Art Magazine, April/May 1996. p.29-30 and discusses Parveen Adams The Emptiness of the Image: Psychoanalysis and Sexual Difference (London & New York: Routledge, 1996) ISBN 0-415 04622-X and Liz Wells (editor) Viewfindings: Women Photographers:'Landscape' and Environment (W.England: AvailableLight,1994) ISBN 1-899457-00-3

These two books provide an opportunity to discuss and compare two divergent trends within feminist art criticism : one, the presentation of contemporary women artist's work and the other, the feminist critique of the mechanisms at stake in the representation of gendered representations (not necessarily or exclusively produced by women). What interests me is the contrast represented by these two approaches : Liz Wells foregrounds women artists' actual work, the photographs themselves, emphasising women's political and multicultural diversity ; Parveen Adams offers a singular and consistent feminist critique within a primarily Lacanian psychoanalytic framework, a perspective developed and revised in relation to an encounter with specific artworks. The Emptiness of the Image presents papers written by Parveen Adams since 1987 and offers a very specific feminist critique of psychoanalytic concepts (e.g. hysteria, identification,voyeurism, castration) in order to discuss how psychoanalysis might by applied to analyse individual artworks by both male and female artists, including Francis Bacon, Della Grace, Mary Kelly and Orlan. Liz Wells' Viewfindings is a very different kind of book which presents the work of 13 women photographers to demonstrate the diversity of contemporary approaches to the questions of woman, 'nature'; landscape and enviroment. It is framed by a short, albeit revised and extended, essay offering a social-historical context by Liz Wells entitled 'Reframing Landscape' which was published in a different form by Women's Art Magazine in 1993/4. Although the strength of Liz Wells' book is invested in the visual reproductions in colour of the photographic work and complemented by short statements and one interview with one of the artists, this is not the case in Parveen Adams' book where reproductions are few and far between and confined to black and white. Does the presentation itself indicate two divergent audiences for these books? Strong visual images often attract artists to borrow, read or buy books where the artwork is mainly presented rather than books where verbal analysis is the principal issue and the books 'look' academic. This is not to say that either book falls into the trap of presuming the works 'speak for themselves' nor the opposite where the analysis is so overdetermined as to limit any other form of possible enagagement in the work, but it is to point to a common split reproduced in art publishing where books of art criticism , which are neither catalogues from exhibitions nor monographs, have generally poor reproductions, particularly those with feminist content. Liz Wells' book was made with the assistance of the Arts Council in order to develop the generally high production values, whereas Routledge, Parveen Adams' publisher, rarely publishes colour plates in its art history series, even as it maintains an orthodox stranglehold on publication of certain forms of academic research.

As a feminist strategy for making women's work more visible and to frame it within a coherent and graspable way in a new field of enquiry where little has been published, Liz Well's book is highly effective but I regret that each artist does not receive a more detailed critical analysis even as I recognise the role of the book in distributing women's photography to a wider audience. Women's work needs not just physical visibility but also the assistance of extended critical discussion. While Liz Wells properly seeks to problematise 'landscape' as a category, I wanted to read more in-depth analysis of how particular women photographer's had in the late 20th Century defined their subjects' relationship to property, territory, entrepreneurship, class, racism, Imperialism, and patriarchy (like Ingrid Pollard's Pastoral Interlude or Stevie Bezencenet Right of Passage or Roshini Kempadoo's Trans-formations portfolio which are reproduced). In a world where women's activities are almost 'automatically' subject to a failure to recognise the positions from which women speak or to give credibility to anything they have to say, the need for commentary becomes all the more important. Contrary to the frequent misapprehension that this detracts from the work, or that critical analysis may destroy the work, in-depth criticism may actually provide a means of access to the project of the artist. Comparisons between artists may also offer a means to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the work itself and this is the very difficulty and tension between representing the necessary diversity of women's art practice in relation to the questions of photography and landscape and framing adequately beyond the categories of 'Margins'; 'Territories'; 'Image, Metaphor, Myth' which Liz Wells offers. Liz Wells is also the editor of Photography: A Critical Introduction (Routledge, 1996 ISBN 0-415-12559-6) : a valuable teaching text to introduce photography's history and theory.

Perhaps these comments about further critical work are also prompted by the contrast with Parveen Adams' work, where a very different strategy is operating. Here an individual artists' work acts as a prompt, a vehicle for elaborate investigations about pyschoanalytic concepts and their adequacy to address fully how identificatory mechanisms within artworks produce meaning. Her enquiries are refreshingly readable amongst work in this field. What is productive here is the way that both the operations of artwork and / or text and the psychoanalytic concepts themselves are subjects of her questioning. For, Parveen Adams has generally avoided what has become an unfortunate tendency in some art historical texts which employ psychoanalysis is that the artwork is discussed only where it fits a pre-existing pyschoanalytic framework without subjecting that framework to any questioning. Parveen Adams has instead opened up how an encounter with a work might prompt reflection of both psychoanalysis and artistic strategies. However, there is one essay where this is not the case, and this concerns the analysis of Catherine Mackinnon's text on pornography in terms of sadism. The possibility of this as a deliberate polemical strategy in political life is dismissed in order to demonstrate the violence inflicted on the reader by the text itself . The comparison of this strategy to those of other pornographic or sadistic writers strikes me as hopelessly inadequate as a means of critiquing the logic of the text and its accurately observed conflation of reality and representation. This is not to say, I support Mackinnon's position but my criticisms of it arise because of the civil legislation which follow from her critique and whether or not these are workable in any state. This is where the more subtle and absorbing sense of possibilities and rereadings offered in the other essays (like chapters on 'Of female bondage' and 'Per (os)cillation') dissolves into a very specific problem for feminists : i.e. how social and political demands for social change can be critiqued by psychoanalytic processes which reflect upon actions and events to reveal and revise psychoanalysis itself rather than to structure new forms of political or social activity. Is it coincidence that this is the only essay jointly written in the book, and with Mark Cousins? By contrast, her reading of Mary Kelly's Interim is really intriguing and insightful in terms of the ways in Lacan's ideas about discourse (including the discourses of Master, University, Hysteric, and Analyst) are deployed to reflect upon the relation of textuality and interpretation: specifically how the same question can mean and imply different things in different situations. Parveen Adams explores how 'Interim gives us the place of the object petit a at the limit of the image' (p.84) , representations which both interrogate the object of desire and interrupt the movement of desire on the part of the spectator in his/her misrecognition of the object : a relation of transference which refuses the discourse of the Master. The essays on the horror provoked by the operations of the French performance artist Orlan and her analysis of Della Grace's 'The Three Graces' in relationship to a lesbian Phallus are also thought-provoking readings.

While these two books may represent two divergent trends in feminist publishing , they nevertheless are both significant and desirable books to read.

Series: PLURAL

?Feminisms? (as a plural) is widely used today to draw attention to inequalities and to critique the status quo in limiting women?s roles/ positions/ lives/ potential. Art can offer a vision of future worlds, manifesting a desire for projecting change, playing with existing realities and conventions. Feminist Art Artivism and Activism, two sides of the same coin, arise where art approaches, develops or transforms into activism and vice versa, where activisms become artivisms. In both, art emerges in differing forms of political intervention, at both an individual, shared or collective level, apparent in actions, events, identifications and practices. This volume wants to reveal the diversity of these practices and realities. Representing a range of critical insights, perspectives and practices from artists, activists, curators, academics and writers, it explores and reflects on the enormous variety of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, social processes, the public sphere and politics. In doing so, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms touches upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic position, ecology, politics, sexual orientation, and the ways in which these intersect.

Review reproduced from Volume 1, n.paradoxa, Jan 1998. Katy Deepwell 'Short Reviews of New Publications' - This book attempts to cover aspects of women artist's work in China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. This is a tall order given the range of work and the numbers of women artists in Asia. The essays vary widely between analyses of the emergence of feminism (often identified and described through theoretical models of Western feminism with the occasional references to post-colonial and post-structuralist theories) and case studies of individual women artists. The book is beautifully illustrated and reproduces an incredible diversity of work. Where it is frustrating is in its omission of details and footnotes and bibliographic references which would encourage greater research. Nevertheless the material is fascinating including a description of the only women's art gallery in Asia: the Senwati Gallery in Bali,Indonesia founded in 1991(but no address!) ; and the feminist groups called 'Hyung'sang' and '30 Carat' in Korea (no contact or details of joint exhibitions or work!). Many of the women artists discussed are starting to be shown in international biennals (from Venice to the Asia-Pacific triennal,Australia) and major group exhibitions, such publications can only fuel this development and the dissemination of knowledge about their work.

Essays include:- Jane Chia 'Trouble at Hand: Singapore Women Artists' ; Xu Hong 'Dialogue: The Awakening of Chinese Women's Consciousness' ; Kim Hong Hee 'Sex and Sensibility: Women's Art & Feminism in Korea' ; James B.Lee 'Yi Bul :The Korean Installation Artist'; Yang Wen-I 'A Banana is not A Banana: The New Women Artists of Taiwan' ; Anna Kirker 'Poised in Equilibrium: Irene Chou' ; Yuri Mitsuda 'Flowers for Wounds: Contemporary Japanese Women Artists' ; Helen Michaelson 'Traces of Memory: Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook' ; Ana P.Labrador 'Beyond the Fringe: Making it as a Contemporary Filipina Artist' ; Astri Wright 'Undermining the order of the Javanese Universe: the self-portraits of Kartika Affandi-Koberl' and 'A Woman's Place: the Senwati Gallery in Bali' ; Martinus Dwi Marianto 'Srikandi,Marsinah & Megawati: Lucia Hartini' ; Nora Taylor 'Invisible Painters: North Vietnamese artists from the revolution to Doi Moi' ; Gayatri Sinha 'Indian Women Artists' ; Nilima Shekh 'Materialising Dream: Arpita Singh'.

Catherine Elwes Video Loupe: a collectin of essays by and about the videomaker and critic Catherine Elwes (London: KT Press, 2000) More

Review reproduced from Volume 6, n.paradoxa, July 2000. Elaine Kowalsky 'Book Reviews'

Video Loupe: a collection of essays by and about the videomaker and critic Catherine Elwes KT press, 2000 ISBN 0 9536541 0 9

When there is currently a renewed attempt in the UK to bring to a new audience/generation the ideas and work from the 1970s, as evident in the Whitechapel exhibition Live in Your Head, the publication of Video Loupe is apt and timely. It is significant in two respects: firstly, because we still have a society, that for all its liberal ideology, finds issues raised from the feminist perspective both marginal and irksome - in fact, not just the issues but the very idea of feminism itself - and secondly, because it is a small one-woman publisher who offers us the republished works of this feminist artist/writer.

Years ago, realising that nobody was going to review her work with any clarity and understanding the issues raised in her work and others like her, Catherine Elwes began to write about video and performance work,in particular, that of women. Elwes sets the agenda herself with the statement:

'Performance, independent film and video all contributed to the critical, counter-culture environment of the 1970s and the early 1980s, but it was the existence of feminist politics as an active force within society that convinced me I could exploit video as a vehicle for my creativity from a gendered position.'

Her first published letter to Art Monthly in 1981, for example, outlines the failings in a review of two shows by women, Women's Images of Men, and the show of women artists at the ACME gallery in Shelton Street, and is a brilliant and systematic criticism of the lack of any understanding about what was actual being shown. From then on, one notes that Elwes's own writing was published more often in the magazine. How could they refuse? She said it all so clearly and the questions, raised in her reviews and essays, still need to be asked today.

The strength in Elwes' writing comes from her ability to locate the work she reviews in a broader context, outlining its historical background and contrasting it with other works to bring out many pertinent issues and ideas, especially in relation to a feminist schedule. In her reviews of primarily video works, she notes quite clearly the pitfalls of narcissism inherent in the medium and the lack of any political agenda in many of today's artists' work. She is able to negotiate with some clarity the work of the new generation of yBa's (young British artists) performance work and installations in relation to the previous generation. It is the lack of a political agenda, she notes, that sets the work of older women artists apart and gives their work bite. The message is simple "Know your history! Or we are doomed to keep reinventing the wheel!"

I often look at young women artists today, as a teacher and as an older woman, and I am proud of their confidence and the ideas in the work that they do, but I am aware how few reviews of their work link it to women's art history or a feminist perspective. Too often women artists start discussions around relevant issues with the opening statement 'I am not a feminist but…' in order to distance themselves from the negative associations that have been placed on feminism. However despite my enjoyment of her writing, I am critical of how the book is constructed, as it would have flowed better without the reviews of Elwes' 'wn video work which the book also documents. These selected reviews do not enhance her reputation as an artist or add to what she has to say as a critic. With the exception of the commissioned introduction essays that frame the context of the book, the writing on her work is redundant and does her no favours. If anything it muddies the waters and weakens the overall structure and flow. In contrast the essays by Lisa Steele, Jeremy Welsh and Julia Knight have an intellectual weight and clarity that compliment and extend an understanding of her work.

I read sections of the book to my evening students. A good thought provoker for them was 'Women and Technoculture','first published in Variant. The excitement of the ensuing discussions and debate amongst them was revealing. They also enjoyed her analysis with Jacqueline Morreau of the show Women's'Images of Men. I dug out the catalogue of the show from my collection and brought it to the next class. It was well received. But the longest debate and ensuing discussion came out of her letter to Art Monthly called 'Feminism & Political Elitism' 'p. 43). Too often when feminist ideals are mentioned, minds are turned off. The popular press in the UK has done a very good job of trivialising the whole feminist agenda. Yet the same issues are still very alive, as was illustrated by my evening students, who from their diverse social and economic backgrounds, debated and understood quite clearly what she had to say. They found the ideas exciting, pertinent and applicable to their own life experiences. I say this in all seriousness, for after reading this new book on her writings and her work, one is left with the desire that more people should know about it.

Review first published in n.paradoxa online (May 1997) by Katy Deepwell -- This book addresses the question of gender in architectural practice. Touching on familiar questions for women practitioners : Do women design differently from men? Is there a feminine architecture? What does it look like? and at the same time trying to move beyond these into more complex questions of the problem of 'Woman' already-inscribed in language in its contradictory even opposition placement against the work of real women architects. The aim is to produce a collective autobiography of practice : one which multiplies that sense of possibility in gender beyond simple binary oppositions of male/female. As one reviewer put it, the book is collected 'with cunning and tact', essays are linked in a tangential but flowing manner.

Contents and Authors:

Beatriz Colomina discusses Eileen Gray's house E.1027 at Cap Martin and the contradictory place of Le Corbusier's gift mural within it. Martine De Maesener's essay plays on the conflicts in language and spatial design embodied in the notion of form and function : a play between up and side, 'Op-Zij' (in Dutch) inside/outside in 'Rear Window'. Francoise-Helene Jourda describes her architectural practice (and collaborations) in terms of principles specifically exploiting contradictory principles. Elizabeth Diller moves from an analysis of time-motion efficency in 1950s Taylorism to a clever pun on the pyschology of housewives dis-/mal-content in pressing the perfect shirt. Dagmar Richter, inspired by Cixous' challenge to put into words the unthinkable/unthought offers reflections on 'A Practice of One's Own' from building the Century City to using 'irony' as a method to redesign Beirut. Nasrine Seraji-Bozorgzad's reflections presented in image/text forms present reflections on territories and models of architectural practice in order to illuminate her own position. Catherine Ingraham takes up Francesca Hughes' suggestion of women operating as both insiders and outsiders in architecture language and its objects: as a site for a lament. Christine Hawley presents aspects of her own practice and offers ideas and salutary warnings about challenging the norms of architecture. Merrill Elam discusses some of her own projects and recollections ; Diana Agrest 'The Return of (the Repressed) Nature in the China Basin project; Magret Hargardottir discusses her design of City Hall, Reyjavick,Iceland and work in Wiesbaden; and Jennifer Bloomer the principles of composition and fascination in still life in her work.

Amelia Jones (ed)

The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader London: Routledge, 2003

ISBN: 0-415-26706-4

Divided into seven parts with 62 essays or extracts from articles, this book aims to be another definitive reader for feminist teaching. The introduction and the first section Provocation offer six new essays which examine the current state of feminist scholarship for its biases and the relationship of feminism to visual culture. Amelia Jones insists on the intersecting nature of feminism and visual culture, positioning feminism as central rather than an adjunct or specialist area within visual culture. She also draws a distinction between visual culture and cultural studies based on the former's exclusive concern with visuality. Rosemary Betterton discusses the difficulties of students when faced with artworks from the past, in spite of their considerable skills in reading images from popular culture as part of the shift involved in visual culture when moving from a discipline-based study to interdisciplinary analysis. Jennifer Doyle analyses how homophobia and misogyny continue to structure the art world and our knowledge systems; Lisa Bloom considers how feminism must now attend to how (Western) feminist theories may and may not work in different trans-national locations and consider again their own regional context of operation. Judith Wilson considers the semantics involved in thinking about a black feminist visual theory: positioning the first as a social category; the second a political orientation;the third a mode of perception, a category of cultural phenomena. Interestingly, she positions black women artists as ahead of theoretical research in their practice. Faith Wilding discusses cyberfeminist debates and draws attention not only to the bio-tech industry but the pace of modern industrialised life globally. Meiling Chang concludes by discussing a metaphor for feminism as a pool of colours to which ever more pigments are being added.

The book then divides into parts titled: Representation; Difference; Disciplines/Strategies; Mass Culture/Media Interventions; Body; and Technology. In each section eight to ten essays, primarily from the last three decades are included. Amelia Jones based her selection of Anglophone texts (largely US/UK-based) on tracing a history of theory, selecting canonical articles which each represent a shift in methodology, while maintaining overall a heterodoxy of debates and ideas to reveal the intersection between feminist theory and visual culture.

Review reproduced from Volume 2, n.paradoxa, July 1998. Hilary Robinson 'Book Reviews'

Amelia Jones Body Art: Performing the Subject (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1998) ISBN 0 8166 2773 8

This is a book which, I feel, will have a far-reaching effect upon the development of the theoretical discourses around performance, representations of the body, and body art in particular. Amelia Jones develops models for thinking through the representation of the artist's body/self in artworks and the associated problematics of the mediation of subjectivity between artist and audience. Using a phenomenological basis for developing understanding of body art as intersubjective (rather than subject/object), Jones traces body art's disruption of the normative values of the modernist art world. The significance of the particularity of the body used is demonstrated through close readings of certain works: any artist's body/self used in an artwork becomes explicitly non-universal, non-transcendent. In this lies body art's potential for radical (including feminist) practices. Works by Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke are analyzed in depth against this background, enriched by readings across a host of works by other artists, demonstrating the delicate but insistent play of intersubjectivity.

This is not a book 'about' body art, then (and still less is it one 'about' particular artists), so much as one which aims to develop the critical vocabulary and shape the discourses of body art, opening spaces for gender-aware and anti-racist practices. This it does productively and provocatively. Its language is rich and challenging (if with a decided American accent - many nouns extended into adjectives and verbs). Its main fault for the researcher-reader is its lack of separate bibliography: one has to trace back through the notes, which is frustrating, as they take up over a quarter of its pages.

My main problem with the book's argument is tangential to its aim: it lies with one of Jones's definitions of "body art", which I feel is an over-protective handling of a methodological problem. Early on, Jones stresses that body art is dependent upon photographic documentation (p.13), later adding that it [depends] on documentation to attain symbolic status within the realm of culture (p.33). While photographic documentation is crucial for the retrospective researcher, it is important to distinguish between body art intended to be mediated in photographic format (like some of Wilke's work under discussion), and that which is documented through photographs - in which case the photographic evidence remains highly contingent and partial, and the structures of discourse around them differ. A few photographs taken during (say) a 12-hour non-stop body art work can only be understood as a trace record, rather than privileged access to the artist/subject; the most reductive critic would at this point mourn the loss of such access, deeming it only possible through attending/participating in the performance itself. The significance of this distinction is not clear in the book (indeed, the import of time in the processes of body art is notably absent from the discussion). This point (and my terminology) cut across Amelia Jones's intentions of elucidating the intersubjective nature of body art, but it is crucial in the thorny debate about the representation of body art and the possibility not only for adequate documentation but also for a radical (feminist) retrospective critical analysis. Jones positions the reading by Alan Kaprow of Hans Namuth's photographs of Jackson Pollock as crucial to the development of Happenings; but this could only happen with the imaginative leap from reading those photographs as indexical of the (unmediated) subject 'behind' the paintings, to reading them as indexical of a possible repertoire of gestures of mediation. Only then can the subjectivity of the artist be constructed as particular and contingent. What is indicated here is that the strategic reading of the documentary photograph is at stake. This could, I think, have been explored in the book; however, this removes little from Jones's overall, and considerable, achievement of shifting the models of thinking about body art away from the prevalent idealist notions of unmediated access to the artist/subject and into a more radical realm which can only be of benefit to developing feminist critical thought.

Rosalind Krauss The Optical Unconscious (Boston: MIT Press, 1992) More

This review was first published by Katy Deepwell in Women's Art Magazine July/August 1993 No.53 --- This is a difficult, provocative and challenging book. Its central themes emerge slowly as one familiarises oneself with the subtle crosscutting of voices, diary quotations, anecdotes, theoretical explorations and close readings which it offers. This "polyvalence" is central to Krauss's project, opening up the possibilities for re-reading modernism "from the inside"

Krauss re-examines what is at stake in the claims and counterclaims concerning some of modernism's heroes and bête noires, its championing critics and dissenting figures. Krauss reads against the grain of Greenbergian modernism, juxtaposing readings of John Ruskin on nature to Mondrian's grid,; of Duchamp on and against Fry; Ernst in relation to Freud; Dali against Bataille and Caillois; Helene Parmelin on Picasso; Twombly, Warhol and Hesse on Pollock. Remapping the structuralist graph which she has previously used so effectively in "Sculpture in the Expanded Field" (reprinted in Hal Foster Postmodern Culture,1985), to delineate the modernist vision of figure against ground, across Lacan's L-schema of a psychoanalytic theory of the subject, with its imaginary relations in the real and the unconscious repression of the Other, Krauss begins to define modernism's optical unconscious. The term borrowed and redeployed from Walter Benjamin's Small History of Photography (1931) refers to that which is externalised within the visual field, not simply in terms of modernism's scientific-technological games with the visual, but what it can reveal of the unconscious conflicts of makers and readers. Sexuality, specifically the carnality of vision, emerges centre-stage disavowing modernism's claims for the visual as autonomous, disinterested and transcendent.

Krauss' writing problematises the relationships between theory and an object; the procedures of art-making and reading; post-structuralist thought, modernism and Lacanian forms of psychoanalysis As Krauss herself says of Eva Hesse's work, the process aims to sap "from its very centre" modernism's "bachelor machine", logic and law in her ambition, its high seriousness, its engagement with visual experience and insistent female "Other" voice, striking parallels are constructed between Virginia Woolf (whose observations of Roger Fry delivering a lecture are quoted) and Krauss' own style (specifically her recollections of audiences with Michael [Fried] and Clem [Greenberg] )

The feminism underlying such a perspective remains implicit . For Krauss, like Woolf has an insider's view of what it is to be an Outsider; as a professional woman in a male club. As young initiate, Krauss laughed complicitly at Greenberg's jokes about "nice Jewish girls with typewriters" as she worked to become a "Clemberger" ; now as a mature writer, she freezes the underlying logic within its problematic and clinically and revealingly examines what remains of the corpse

Unlike Lucy Lippard, Krauss' recognition of the sexism within modernism, has not led to determined rejection of its critical apparatus via new definitions of value and a deliberate engagement with the large constituencies of politically engaged practitioners which modernism's narrow perspective refused to acknowledge. Or should, I say, yet. For illuminating and original as this book is about the limitations of Greenbergian modernism's logic seen from a post-structuralist perspective and suggestive as it is about psychoanalytic perspectives, it begs the question, can these tools also prove useful in the examination of that which is still truly repressed within modernist discourse, the work of women artists?

Martina Pachmanova Vìrnost v pohybu / Mobile Fidelity (text in Czech only)

Prague, One Woman Press, 2001 ISBN 80-86356-10-8 A feminist viewpoint is still not frequently used in the Czech art criticism. Martina Pachmanova, a major supporter of feminist approaches in the field of art history, has decided to provide especially the younger generation of both critics and artists with a dozen views on feminism and its role in art and visual culture.

Pachmanova's searching for a less academic form and a theoretically less structured interview seems to be an ideal vehicle for this purpose. The flow of spoken words makes more visible the general fields of interest of the inteviewees who represent diverse branches of feminist cultural practice. Next to those who helped to shape feminism more than thirty years ago (Linda Nochlin, Martha Rosler) there are the younger academicians or artists (Amelia Jones, Mira Schor) whose attitudes have refreshed feminism and adapted it to current developments in visual culture. The discussed topics are art history, subjectivity and identity, aesthetics, sexual politics, public space and art institutions, However, a thin red line links all the interviews and is formed by a few recurring questions: Is it possible to redefine feminist art history? If yes, then how? Should feminist artists work within or outside the current art institutional structures? How can women be represented in art? Is the social and political involvement of artists, a dated practice? And last but not least, is American feminist practice valid in the new democracies of the Central and Eastern Europe? The book does not provide the reader with clear answers but is definitely food for thought.

Martina interviews Linda Nochlin, Natalie Boymel Kampen, Kaja Silverman, Susan Rubin Suleiman, Amelia Jones, Mira Schor, Jo Anna Isaak, Janet Wolff, Martha Rosler, Marcia Tucker and Carol Duncan.

Editor's note: Martina Pachmanova's interview with Kaja Silverman was Review reproduced in English in n.paradoxa Vol. 6, July 2000.

Helen Reckitt (ed) Peggy Phelan (Survey) Art and Feminism Phaidon, 2001 0-7148-3529-3

This book is part of a series by Phaidon on themes and movements in contemporary art. The lavishly illustrated format includes a long introductory survey-type essay, accompanied by extracts from other writers which are designed to contextualise the assembled material in terms of feminist theory. Presenting itself as the first fully illustrated and comprehensive survey of art and feminism from the 1960s to the present (a highly dubious claim given the 1994 anthology by Norma Broude and Mary Garrard The Power of Feminist Art and many other catalogues of feminist art practices!) the book presents over 300 colour plates from 150 artists, including 'rarely published installation shots' and 'previously unpublished artists' statements' (Press Release). On closer examination, the previously unpublished material proves to be one statement by Coco Fusco - and possibly, a little-known pamphlet by Su Richardson, Monica Ross and Kate Walker.

Peggy Phelan's text, albeit enjoyable to read and skillfully crafted with numerous insights, concentrates on only the American version of feminist strategies, key works and models, with occasional nods towards Britain as 'the well-rehearsed plot' of the history and the rise of the women's art movement. This emphasis is further reinforced in the unannounced selection of works: 85 of the artists live/work in the US, 50 in Europe (22 of whom are in the UK) with a further 10 who live/work in Canada, South America, Japan and Australia. While the "image" of the woman artist and the role of re-presentational and aesthetic strategies is discussed in relation to the problems of essentialism, multi-cultural politics (in the US), queer theory and shifts in feminist art history and theory, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Sophie Calle, Helen Chadwick, Cecile Edefalk, Jenny Saville and Denise Stoklos are the only artists living outside the US whose work is briefly discussed outside the "familiar"account of American feminism.

This book was designed as a reader for teaching - albeit an impressive anthology of new writing about women artists - for it concludes with a syllabus outline for a course on 'narrative autobiography' in women's art practice. The introduction and the essays encourage analysis of the problematic category of autobiography as it might be read into and from women's art practice through the equally problematic notions of memory, experience, identity, embodiment and agency. Although they emphasise the contingency of the autobiographical act, the editors raise the thorny question of "narcissism" in criticism of women's self-portraiture and why women artists so frequently chose themselves as subjects of their work. However, the editors hold onto the older notion of a life narrative revealed in women's art practice, principally as a strong point of identification for the student in a liberal arts education with the artist's work, which oddly reinforces the paradigm they wish to move away from by attention to the visuality/textuality of the work of art. The volume ncludes essays on artists Jo Spence and Hannah Wilke by Jo Anna Isaak; on Cindy Sherman and Laura Aguilar by Amelia Jones; on Orlan by Linda S. Kauffman; on Jenny Saville, Faith Ringgold and Janine Antoni by Sidonie Smith; on Louise Bourgeois by Mieke Bal; on Bobby Baker and Blondell Cummings by Lesley Ferris; on Lorna Simpson and Adrian Piper by Jennifer Drake; on Lorie Novak by Marianne Hirsch; on Claude Cahun by Georgina MM Colville; on Elvira Bach and others by Irene Gammel; on Frida Kahlo by Mimi Y.
