The exhibition explores the point of view by ten women -nine artists and The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum¿s new curator, Mónica Ramírez¿Montagut¿in a show that will be open until January 3, 2010. The exhibition highlights the recent proliferation of women artists¿in this case Ambreen Butt, Kate Clark, Orly Cogan, Amy Cutler, Kyung Jeon, Catarina Leitão, Rosana Palazyan, Liliana Porter, and Stacey Steers¿who reclaim storytelling as a strategy to address contemporary discussions on warfare, the environment, and female struggles in their work. Each of the artists in the exhibition focuses on narrative representation and figuration. Their fairytale¿like depictions are in reality reflections of underlying conflicts explored through refined, delicate, and meticulous work¿including hand¿crafted pop-up booklets, watercolor and gouache paintings on rice paper, re¿embroidered vintage textiles, taxidermic sculptures, toy assemblages, and a video of animated collages.
