Art of Defiance: Radical Materials

http://www.michaelrosenfeldart.com/

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 2 / 5:00–7:00PM

Art of Defiance: Radical Materials examines the groundbreaking use of materials by the artists Hannelore Baron, Mary Bauermeister, Lee Bontecou, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Claire Falkenstein, Nancy Grossman, Louise Nevelson, & Betye Saar. Each developed their individual approach by utilizing materials defined by their physicality, representing a freedom from the constraints of traditional, male-dominated media in art history. The exhibition explores how these artists blurred the boundaries of two- and three-dimensions with their singular constructions, expanding the field of art-making in a way that still resonates today.
