Event Description:
The Un-Heroic Act is a concentrated survey of works by a diverse roster of artists
representing three generations – and including Jenny Holzer, Suzanne Lacy, Ana Mendieta, Senga
Nengudi, Yoko Ono, and Kara
Walker – which aims to fill a gap in the history of art, where
the subject of rape has been represented by countless historical depictions by
male artists. What makes women’s works radically different is the focus not on
the action or drama, but on the lasting psychological devastation of the
victim: her suffering, silence, shame, and loneliness.
