Judy Chicago Talks Feminism, The Dinner Party, and Through the Flower

October 17, 2011

In 1971 Judy Chicago wrote in her diary that she wanted to document the “first” feminist art before “the moment is gone and forgotten.” 40 years later, the artist who remains so closely associated with her “seminal” work (1975-1979), The Dinner Party, talks to A2Radio about countering the erasure of women’s contributions through her art, since the 1970s. On October 30th at the Albuquerque Museum Through the Flower and Judy Chicago host “Celebration Sunday,” in celebration of the last 40 years of feminist art history.

Chicago’s work is also widely on view through January in Los Angeles as part of the citywide and southern California wide series of arts exhibitions that is Pacific Standard Time. To hear our audio podcast with Carol Stakenas, director of LACE, listen here:
